I believe the pinebook pro will become the next big thing. Are you guys ready? Load-balancers are in place?
Load balancers become irrelevant when people start doing more than just browsing around. Merely adding the laptop to the cart would cause servers to get a pretty high load, and could bring the entire website to a halt if done by enough people.
I hope the pre-order won't be so popular that it will be down to luck whether you manage to get a laptop for yourself.
