The pinebook is a package ( a specific use case ) that takes on value; its value is far greater than the sum of its parts. If it works ( if it supports gnu+linux ) its well priced , in fact very competitively priced.
Whether it can be hacked is another story altogether; and if so, its intrinsic value continues to go up.
