The pineboard on the Pinebook Pro, is it replaceable? can it be replaceable? - Dr.Uv@ - 02-05-2020
Hi,
As far as I understand the pinebook pro is running on a pineboard. I was wondering that if you can make it upgradable? If it is not already... I mean for this, to be able to replace the board in the Pinebook Pro 64 for a new Pineboard that is more powerful and can keep the demands. In this way, I can unplug the board, install the new one, plug everything on the board and I have an instant powerful upgrade! In the worst scenario, can you make the SoC chip upgradable? I am just saying!
For me it is important to evolve the laptop, without requesting a new one with the new board inside. It is better for me and better for the planet!
Please let me know if this is or it is not the case already.
Thanks and regards,

IF you dig back deep in the past Forums,
IT is mentioned that upgrading the Pinebook Pro is planned for sometime in the future.
They have also planned an upgrade for the older original Pinebook,
but between the Corona virus and the Chinese New Year, that may be delayed a bit.
AND they plan to make an upgrade board for the Pine phone (eventually)
There is a lot of Great information in some of the older posts,
.... I wish it was easier to navigate the old posts.
