Does that mean the hardware is finalised now? Did you make any changes based on the feedback here? WiFi antennas and cooling solution in particular

Im sure Oman and the Beelink team are getting things all finalised as he stated above the first samples should be ready in a few weeks and like you cannot wait to find out and see all the details..but perhaps give them all the time they need to get it right to.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm in no hurry and I do not intend to rush anyone.

Producing small batches of samples is expensive as hell, so you tend to try your best go get it done with as few revisions as possible. Plus, if they do plan to send these samples out to testers, that implies some confidence that the hardware works and performs as intended. Otherwise it would just be a huge waste of time and money.

Therefore, it's pretty safe to assume that there will not be any major changes to the hardware afterwards. ( -> It's finalized)

Therefore, if they did make changes according to feedback from here, now is as good a time as any to ask about it.

I could be wrong, though. The closest I ever got to hardware production is lurking the OpenPandora forums

No 100% where you where coming from and could not agree more have tested many many devices over the years and its nice to find a company who are prepared and indeed have not only asked users to submit ideas and solutions but also fund a samples program for a small group.. a wise move.
Like you i hope Beelink have listened and taken in as much information supplied by the users here and when in the testing stage to make a great end product..really great we hope and looking for more enlightenment on the situation soon from Beelink.
OpenPandora nothing to be emabarrased about there.

Ya but still Rockchip and as always endless promices expections with zero proof. Hey these guys gave us T chip with no comment to date on why? So i have very little faith in releases not sucking monkeys unless they start being more foth coming, thinking amlogic kicked them harder then they thought so they re doing for better speeds and video, nice to see them sweating it

Thats hit at Rockcrap not manufactures of board

[bloodgnome]

Its got kinda quiet in here.

Any news Oman ?

Still problems with Rockchip or is the box ready to ship. You still need our adresses I suppose

[ademturk]

can't wait this is going to be an awesome box

Hi everyone,In the past few weeks,I am busy in fixing the bugs on s82(Amlogic s802 SoC),and s85(Amlogic s805 SoC)..So less time I spent on R89,other guys are in charge of it.In last week,we've manufactured 50 pieces of PCBA of R89 with new RK3288,but when we tested,we found HDMI display is not stable,sometimes missing the connection with the TV.We are still finding a solution to fix it cooperating with RK.So hold on..And in the coming days,I'll spend more time on giving more info about this.

[Arbelzapf]

Thank you for the update. Good luck and patience to you and your team

[Talas]

oman Thank you for the information and lets hope rockchip get there act together about this issue.

[ademturk]

thanks

I rather see a delay and get a device without major bugs.

[scooter2014]
