No PD is a BIG problem, since besides being a power supply port, the USB-C port is supposed to work with a USB-C monitor, like my Dell U2720Q. It is expected that Rock 5B can be powered by the monitor (90W PD) while providing DisplayPort and USB 3.0 signal.
Introduce ROCK 5B - ARM Desktop level SBC

Fully functional usb c port is a big plus. Today you can connect keyboard and mouse to monitor and connect SBC to monitor.
You will have power, monitor, keyboard, mouse all from a single usb c port. No extra usb hubs is required.
Lol. Really. Ok. Logic reason and the understanding of empirical data has informed my opinion sir. Get to work buddy. Time is money
Any news about the EU Distributor ?
Current progress for USB C PD is, the Dell monitor is the one work the best on ROCK 5B, the model we tested is U2720QM

i hope it is not the same as pine eu store who is even more expensive as the original store , and then talk about taxes as the price diffrence that is bs and eu warranty is not a excuse to make a product 100 euro more expensive we all know eu warranty is just air .
a few euros is possible
and the 2 german stores in the list are very EU and even 1 of that 2 has a raxda rk3588 wich is cheaper as the lower 4gb version
According to this announcement I just saw, I wonder whether “eu warranty” is on the table in the first place. (Partly kidding. They do cater for EU customers, of course, but let’s see about the associated additional costs.)
Okdo is absolutely huge for Radxa and they would be a strange EU company not to cater for EU customers.
I am guessing the end of agreement with Raspberry may be a tad acrimonious to Radxa’s and hopefully purchasers benefit.
To be exact: OKdo is a brand of RS Group plc based in London, which is now outside the EU. They still have subsidiaries inside the EU, of course, but don’t underestimate the red tape involved. But again, we’ll see how/whether this works out for EU customers.

For now there is only one sample and unavailable product that seems to be bit more expensive than allnet (but we will see that in details on checkout when it will be ready to order). Will they manufacture boards or only resell them?
almost closing out aug. any info on a shipping date?
I guess the Rock5B with the bigger mem could be a prob for some with
The IOSS process has a limit on the maximum value per order of €150 including shipping costs, therefore you are currently restricted from placing orders with us over this value.
Is this a possible indication that the RS Group might take on the manufacture of Radxa products?
Will there be an announcement when some of the Rock 5 units ship? I ordered the Rock 5 in July so I’ll probably receive it in a later batch. Just hoping that there will be news once it’s ready.
Is there any current ETA for when Rock 5b will ship?
In the meantime, I’ll be patient and keep playing with my Rock 4b 2GB and Radxa Zeroes.

I’ve also pre-ordered 16G RAM version on allnet for 5$. I already bought nvme module and wifi 6e intel chipset adapter for that single board.
I put that here
The Jan batch should be shipped in 3 weeks and we expect to fulfill all the pending coupon order in Oct.
