Speaking of ARM Linux laptops, when is the Pinebook Pro going to be upgraded to have more RAM, faster CPU, flicker-free display etc?
The Pinebook Pro (PBP) will likely never be the machine for Linus Torvalds. The PBP aims at a (relatively) low-cost developer market, whereas Linus has essentially an empty cheque book and the need for high quality. The PBP is unlikely to ever be a competitor for an Apple device - and that's okay.
Personally I want to see some standardization of the mainboard to either an Single Board Computer (SBC) or module, so that people are able to upgrade/maintain their machines. This would also greatly ease their current supply issues (some of which is for displays, etc).
