A couple of things are important about a laptop to me. First, the battery. Is the battery removable and can I buy a new one? Batteries do wear down so a replacement is important. If the batteries are replaceable, how much would they be?
Next, I missed the free hard drive upgrade and 64 gigs is nothing. How much for the hard drive upgrade?
Finally important, but not always a deal breaker, is screen flex. Some manufacturers add extra plastic around the screen so it is not as flimsy and won't break easily. Is the screen for the laptop stable or does it flex?
Please advise and thanks!
For info the "hard drive" in the PineBook is just a very small (smaller than SD or postage-stamp sized) eMMC memory module.
Current max size is 128GB though (expensive) 256GB is on the horizon.
eMMC is common type of flash-memory format in tablet PCs (and mobile phones?).
There is no provision for a "conventional" (2.5-inch) hard disk or SSD in the PineBook chassis.
Nothing stopping you fitting an external drive to the USB socket though.
