I don't want to charge at pine at all. I really love the idea of the devices. I mean i was already prepared to buy a pinebook after the pinephone. But as long as it is like this, i'm a bit worried. I have received two out of two broken things and the support hasn't been helpful at all. For me things have been looking like lost money so far.
But i'd love to be proven otherwise.

Good thing you did not order the PineBook Pro, you would of had three out of three broken things. The plastic cases on those were cracking.
I have the original ISO Pinebook Pro, and I think it's an amazing machine. I've replaced the keyboard with an ansi keyboard and added an NVMe ssd. What other $200 computers are out there that users can repair themselves with common tools? What other $200 computers have open source boot? I have a couple small cracks in the plastic that surrounds the screen, if it starts to bother me I'll order the replacement panel from the shop. There is literally no other slim, open source laptop out there like the Pinebook Pro.
That is not the point. Just because they are doing this for open source, and not for profit does not mean they should build poor quality products.
