We all have our opinions and ways of working, but I think the goal is also that Pine64 starts making products that can be used by the mainstream.
To be honest, I wouldn't give the Pinebook Pro to my mother or sister, even when they don't need much from a laptop.
Will an 8 GB model change that?
No, as the problems with user-friendliness as are on a different level.
But I'm more of a power user.
I would love to use the Pinebook Pro in a multi-monitor setup and run multiple applications at the same time.
Yes, I'm the kind of idiot running around with a 4K 360 cam (and I'm looking at 8K).
My 4K camera would commit suicide, when maxed out at 8GB.
And for instance in a kart race, it can be interesting to see what happens behind you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNNb2hSlVuI
With the option of a 8 GB RPi model, we'll see how popular it's going to be.
Battery life can be extended with an external battery.
You can even use low power mobile batteries on the USB-C port.
And there is one thing that surprises me.
I have a Samsung Chromebook Plus and stand-by time is phenomenal.
As far as I know, that's the same SoC, unless Google did optimisations and the OP1 is really a modified RK3399.
But I can close it, and open it after a couple of days and it responds within seconds and only consumed a couple of percentage of the battery.
I'm excited by the rumoured AMD C7.
2 Cortex X1
2 Cortex A78
4 Cortex A55
Radeon RDNA 2 Mobile
LPDDR5
5nm
When they start putting that chip in a laptop, that will definitely have at least 8 GB.
