You misunderstand. i didn't back the phone/laptop. i backed the first pine64 boards, which were marketed as being much more capable than they turned out to be:

I have one of the original Kickstarter A64+, it has happily run low disk I/O tasks for years (on account of the uSDcard).

Right now it runs some services through Docker and is pretty dang solid.

I've never taken any manufacturer's performance claims too seriously, there's always an angle.
