With the RK3588 hopefully coming later this year, and maybe arriving in Pine products early in 2022, I have some questions for people who are more familiar with the hardware supply situation right now.
Pine64 tries to keep the number of SKUs as small as possible, which is very respectable. However, I think a version of a possible RK3588 Pinebook with the ability to flip it's display around fully, a touch screen and accordingly low-latency pen input would be really useful, especially since the ARM processor would provide good battery life.
Are parts that would facilitate that kind of (of course slightly more expensive) PineBook Ultra model readily available, and is it realistic to manufacture? Is this something Pine64 would be interested in making?
Distributions running Gnome or Pantheon seem ready to be used with part-time touch input, and a pen would make taking notes really convenient.
Thanks!
