I'd rather see a replacement CPU board made available when the RK3588 comes out. Its a 4 + 4 BIG.little config, with lower power and other improvements. If the "shell" of the Pinebook Pro tends to hold up to reasonable usage, then some people may opt to upgrade it's guts. Others might buy the mythical "Pinebook Pro+".
When I looked at the original Pinebooks ayear ago, they just missed what I was looking for. Like 3 x USB. Or larger SSDs / second drive. Pinebook Pro hit all those and more, so I bought it.
Plus, instead of a monster laptop, I'd prefer to see the next generation a bit more hardware hackable. In that regard I can help, being a former Assistant Design Engineer for embedded computers. Like external access to internal switches, using a paper clip or such. And expansion pads where someone can solder either a connector or cable for internal extras.
