PineBook Pro revision 2.2: Wishlist for the hardware issue fixes
#41

Sad to say, but this is the way big corporations behave. They just don't react at all.

It is really sad that the Pine64 team simply ignores the issues and even announces the next PineBook Pro batch that will be made and shipped with a whole bunch of known issues.  Really, really sad and totally unexpected from Pine64. Sad  I understand that the effects of the current pandemic must be hard for Pine64, but getting involved into the discussions requires very little effort and no money.

And also possible to charge from USB-charger which can be used for another purposes (like to charge mobilephone,...). In classic notebooks which are working with 15-20volt we always need to take separate charger which can be used only with the given notebook modell. With USB we have universal solution.

This is a valid point, but 3 A at 5 V simply isn't enough juice for the PineBook Pro almost whenever it's doing something CPU-hungry.  The right solution would be to improve the USB Type-C power input so it can take significantly more power from a capable USB Power Delivery charger, while also remaining compatible with the USB chargers capable of providing only 3 A at 5 V.

I've already researched that approach a lot, putting a lot of time into studying the PineBook Pro internals, and I've asked the Pine64 team twice to provide me with a development PineBook Pro, which I'd use to try out some hardware modifications that would raise the input power.  Unfortunately, the Pine64 team remained completely silent.
