Reputation: 106 #1 EDIT 8/25: This phase of preorders has now concluded. To now preorder a Pinebook Pro, please go to this store page.



The following is only still here for reference:



First of all, welcome to the new (as of July 22nd, 2019) Pinebook Pro subforum!



Now, it's time to talk in detail of how preorders will work this time around!



As you may be aware, any of you who registered on this forum prior to July 1st are eligible for the first round of preorders, and for an upgrade to 128GB eMMC (as compared to the standard 64GB). We have worked with the Sales Team to try to make this as painless as possible, both for you (so it's less hassle), and for the Sales Team (so you get your PBP shipped as fast as possible!)



How this works:



Step 1) On/after July 25th, go to this webpage: https://pine64.org/PBPCoupon/index.html

Step 2) Login with your PINE64 Forum username and password. You will receive confirmation or denial of your eligibility.

Step 3) Assuming you are eligible, a confirmation email has now been sent to you. You are now in the preorder queue!

Step 4) Wait for a member of the Sales Team to email you your Coupon Code.

Step 5) Order a Pinebook Pro!



Priority on 128GB PBPs goes to those who complete their order first.



FAQs:



At what time on the 25th do preorders open? Noon UTC



Do I need the coupon code if I don't care about the 128GB model? Yes, all orders at this time will require going through this system.



Can I get the NVMe adapter with my pre-order? Yes, you will be able to choose Pinebook Pro accessories when completing the pre-order process.



When will the general public be able to order? In a couple months, after the first two batches ship.

Reputation: 6 #5 Pardon the paranoia, but can this waiting for the coupon put us at risk of getting too far down the list of orders, as compared to people preordering without bothering about the 128GB-upgrade coupon? neilman

It is, but since we do community users first we need some system to verify you're actually a registered forum user... It is, but since we do community users first we need some system to verify you're actually a registered forum user... You can find me on IRC Discord and Twitter
