I keep reading comments and questions--which verge on 'whining'--about the 4 GB memory 'limit' of the PBP'.
What I find totally incomprehensible is that this is the "...never good enough..." mentality of the crowd whose only technical credentials are to own the newest, latest, fastest, biggest, most feature-filled gadget.
I've been running Linux for years on machines with 2, and now lately (due to OS bloat), 4 GB.
What you've been presented with, in the Pinebook Pro, is a true Linux machine with specifications that were the stuff of dreams ten years ago, and for only $200.00.
The Pinebook Pro, AS IT STANDS, is a true masterpiece of imagination and execution, and yet, you have to 'carp and whine' about the fact that "...it isn't good enough..." for you; you need more RAM because your over-arching technical acumen demands it (even if your technical demands absolutely require 8, 16, or 32 GB of RAM, your technical judgement needs re-calibration--you're considering the wrong machine...).
I have three pieces of advice for all you effetes and dilettantes--
1) stop trying to convince us how smart you are by claiming that the Pinebok Pro "...doesn't have enough memory...";
2) buy a Chromebook;
3) learn something; grow up.
Truly, a Chromebook will be far more than you'll ever need.
