Hi Luke and all the rest
I'm interested in a Pinebook Pro because it has no Intel Management Engine and a low price. I want to use it for travel. My ideal travel notebook is cheap so that loss or theft will not rip a hole in my pocket.
I'm quite excited about the Pinebook Pro and hope I can order one very soon.
A few questions:
[*]I never had a computer or laptop running from flash. I know that flashes wear down on writes. Are the available OSes tuned towards running from flash or are they stock unmodified Linux distributions?
[*]X-Window needs a three button mouse. How will the track-pad work here?
[*]On the "feature list", I don't see a charger. I have an usb-c charger from my MacBook Pro and hope I can (re-)use it. Will the precise specs matter?
A few remarks:
[*]I can't imagine most of us prefer these 1/2 sized cursor keys over full sized cursor keys. Perhaps something to consider for the next iteration of the Pinebook.
[*]Great to see the CTL key is bottom left. Please keep it there.
