Now that would be interesting. I myself don't see myself buying the PBP as it is, but if it was RISC-V, that would be a different case. For myself, buying another laptop feels too wasteful as I can get my hands on any number of discarded laptops and put a linux on them. But a RISC-V is like the next generation of open source, so that I would buy and would not feel too bad about the environmental costs, since I see open source being a way out of the planned obsolescence cycles that we are now trapped in, globally.
