Pinebook Pro?

[DayFire725]

I am interested in this as well as a fun mess around machine. If you want 8-16gb ram, backlit kb, normal boot loader, os support,... all at $200 just get a used latitude or thinkpad. I think this is a really cool idea and can skimp on raw features in favor of tinker-ability and cool factor. Please please please use a nice colorful display though, so many of my business laptops have super dull drab screens despite being ips and high res.

I am curious to know if the pinebook pro will have hardware accelerated graphics support. I have an original kickstarter pine64 and honestly regret it over the rasp pi due to lack of linux hardware accelerated graphics, forcing me to use android if i want youtube playback.

I would love to hear back and apologize if this was already answered and I missed it. Also would love more real-world battery life figures and planned os support (another thing the original pine64 lacked espc at release). Luckily i still found a use for my pine64, as a wifi hotspot for iot devices in my dorm, since iot devices cant exactly navigate a captive portal login page haha.
