Pinebook Pro Network diagnostics hardware - xavi - 04-26-2019
Hello
I think Pinebook Pro is a great idea, but i miss the ethernet port very much.
I know that there are dongles, I even have usb3-GbE one, but it's not practical in the field, when one have to quickly check network status.
What do you guys think of giving the pinebook Pro Ethernet port option ?
Not to mention the SFP bay
.But seriously, maybe there is some modular solution, like built in sfp bay and fiber/ethernet sfp ?
I know it isn't easy, but there could be some new buyers because of it.

I think there is no space for Ethernet, if we want ultrabook size laptop.

Why not considering some of these "origami style" ports?

I also think that a full ethernet port will be a killer feature.

Thanks on the request. However, now is late to add new hardware into Pinebook Pro.
The origami Ethernet is a oood suggestion.
