You don't have to be sarcastic either, buddy. There are a load of silent people out there that knows how much of a great deal the Pinebook Pro is already , but we focus our attention on the most vocal moaners. I sure voiced my own opinion and requirements, but these were more for a mate screen and backlit keyboard than having an Intel i9 based comparable ultrabook. You still have to get your expectations right considering the amount of money you're going to pour into such a project.
It's already great to have such an opportunity to have an hackable ARM based laptop for a great price, compared to the Raspberry Pi based offering that mostly provides an empty plastic shell with a keyboard and a screen for about $300 and you still have to provide the Raspberry. So there are people that knows and just focus on the details, not expecting to run the latest AAA games, model and compute the next Pixar's movie or administrate a server farm from their Pinebook Pro.
And being from a third world country is not a valid excuse to request all (great performance, multiple dedicated ports, ...) for nothing (what ? $200 ? that's too expensive for me, how could I feed my family ? I've just heard/registered and cannot get a 128 eMMC for free as a "long time supporter" ?). As said, get your priority straight and stop bragging about the Pinebook Pro not being the latest Apple's flagship ultrabook. This is not doing the Pine64 staff any good.
