Pinebook Pro?

[Kochise]

Thanks for the clear answers. I understand the $200 price tag, but :

1- was to avoid changing the whole mother board instead of just changing the "sopine", a "bundle" can be available
2- those having an interest into embedded could always get them refurbished / second hand from those who upgraded
3- adding a few led under the keyboard shouldn't cost that much more
4- yeah, that one was just for fun

5- if you add "ITX holes", maybe the motherboard can be fitted into a regular casing, for those interested
6- adding a slot/sodimm cpu to get a second hexacore cpu (doing smp clustering into the notebook for performance)
7- and 8- yeah, that also was to replace faulting parts with new ones without changing/dumping everything

Regarding this project : https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/novena

I think even a $300 price tag remains viable (come on, $300 for a FHD IPS hexacore 14" notebook, who would be that picky ?) for a little more versatile setting, allowing you not just fitting a Pinebook Pro case, but perhaps doing much more with the parts.

What about the idea to fit the PineTab in place of the keyboard to get a dual screen (dual cpu ?) notebook ?
