I believe the wise thing to do before getting into these new hardware considerations is to wait and see what software can actually deliver with the current hardware. Then it will be easy to evaluate what kind of specs/price would be best for a new PP iteration.
True
But not much can be expected from Allwinner A64. It is from 2015 with 40 nm architecture. No wonder poor power efficiency and performance. This is 6! years old hardware not even designed for mobile use, you most probably do not use laptop from that time anymore.
I dunno, this SoC is able to run Android like a champ. Maybe it can't play the latest and greatest games, but achieving feature parity for linux vs Android on this lil guy is a pretty solid bottom line to work for first. Also, not sure laptops are a good comparison since ones from 5-10 years ago were user repairable and upgrade-able. My old Windows 7 era laptop with a replacement battery and SSD runs great.
