Pinebook Pro?

[odinson]

Another person here who signed up on the forums for the Pinebook Pro. I read about it on the Ameridroid blog. I plan to evaluate it for my transition off Macbook Pros as I don't like the direction Apple has taken with the new ones and the various quality issues/cover ups they've engaged in of late. Not to mention the terrible port situation. 

I love the keyboard/trackpad combo as it looks exactly like the MBP setup. I really hope the keyboard and trackpad have a proper feel to them. That's going to be the make or break for me. There is absolutely nothing more important to me for my day to day use. Other things matter too, but a laptop can hit every other note and then have a keyboard or pointing device that feels wrong and it's just game over for me. So I'll be buying one of these out of the gate as soon as they're available, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one point alone. If it nails it there, I'll be buying more for family and possibly employees & partners.

I can live with 4GB of RAM(ARM based Linux desktops I've played with actually run pretty good in 2GB of RAM). The potential to be able to swap out the board for newer and faster motherboards down the road makes the inability to upgrade the RAM a non-issue for me. That will most likely be how we end up upgrading the RAM.

Really looking forward to this.
