I know some version of this question has been asked before, but as I understand it, it depends on the user. As mentioned in the title, I'm having trouble on deciding whether I should buy the ReBirth Edition Pandora or if I should wait and save up more money for the 1GHz unit. I'm having trouble trying to justify the extra $220 for the 1GHz unit and I need some help on deciding which unit is for me. I understand what I want to get from the Pandora might be different than what other people might want. But, I'm willing to compromise some features that I don't need if it will cost me less.
Could you guys compare for me? So, here are somethings I would like to use the Pandora for. What is there to expect from both editions in these areas?
Here's what I'd like to get out of my Pandora:
1. Emulation. (PSX, SNES, Gamboy color and advance, NES, Amiga, C64, Genesis, and (I know it's not perfect) N64.)
2. Office suite. Libre Office and Google Drive through Chrome. (Power-points and word documents)
3. Google Chrome for web browsing.
4. Games made for Pandora. Ex. Super Geometry Dust.
5. Remote desktop to my PC
6. Music playback of various mp3s
7. Video playback. (is 720p practical?)
8. Youtube?
9. eBook reading from .epub and .pdf files.
10. Android. (Not a huge deal if it isn't that great on the ReBirth. I have a couple pretty good Android devices anyway, and If I want game controls I'll buy and iCP 2 when it comes out. But it would be nice to have it right on the Pandora.)
11. Qemu running Age of Empires and Diablo. (Also, not the biggest deal if this isn't decent on the ReBirth.)
Once again, I'd like to be able to have all of these features without spending an extra $220 on a 1GHz unit. But, If I'm going to be missing out on a lot of cool stuff, then maybe that'd justify the 1GHz Pandora for me.
Thanks in advance for looking at this post and for responding. (I know this is a long one!) This community really rocks! I am hoping to be a happy owner of one version or the other of the Pandora within the next month or so!
