the power drain issue while plugged in is significant and annoying.
compared to the rk3399 -- if the rk3588 has 30% more processing power, 40% less power draw, improved VPU, and NPU, paired with 8/16GB of RAM and 512GB/1TB SSD, then this could easily address the Pro+ market segment. there will be many willing to spend more on a much more capable arm64 laptop. with mac moving to arm this will increase exponentially.
it would also be nice to see pine and rockchip officially support mainline linux kernel development, like VPU media decoding projects v4l2codecs, v4l2request and vaapi. from a normal usage point of view this is easily the most glaring web browsing feature missing. basic youtube and jitsi usage will melt all the things. the hardware supports these hardware decoding capabilities, but are unused.
other improvements needed are improved speakers, webcam+mic, and an additional usbc port.
the first outfit to address the Pro+ market segment with a FHD webcam, decent mic and speakers, and VPU decoding and encoding working OOTB will create that killer product.
