4 GB RAM limit

Not speaking for the Sales/Dev team, I would suspect we would see a SBC with a new SoC launch first. Since the PBP based of the Rock64 proven production first.

PBP as an ARM solution laptop, 4g is mighty decent. Not intended to run your Solidworks modeling or latest FPS game.

To look at another major SoC manufacture, RPi4 using Broadcom BCM2711, Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz only has up to 4GB LPDDR4-2400 SDRAM.

If you crave for top notch specs, get a decent laptop. The Pinebook Pro isn't addressing the kind of needs you have, don't be silly. If you were expecting a $1999 ultrabook for $199, you got your math wrong.

Why be abrasive about the question?  Thats not helpful.  Affordability is not the only important marketspec to consider here.   Web browsing takes a lot of memory.  Memory questions are extremely legitimate, and for many of us, 299 or 399 are the same as 199.  I'd happily buy a slightly more expensive version for 16 gb of ram.
