Maybe, but does the Atom have passive cooling and comparable performance?
Because the performance of Pinebook is, honestly, very poor for normal work, even for browsing. I am now typing this from my Pixel C running Ubuntu and it feels like a real laptop.

Yes,  a lot of  atom based laptops are passively cooled. 
Im currently rocking a z3735f laptop as a replacement for pinebook (was actually cheaper) and its much faster than a53 chipsets out there.

In generic benchmarks the RK3399 beats the z3735f hands down. So, if a high-end rk3399-based and nicely finished Pinebook would sell for ~200USD then its still a value proposition. But as I already said, its a congested segment of the Laptop market.

Also, unlike the current Pinebook that is aimed at tinkerers and is effectively a toy of sorts, a rk3399 Pinebook would actually have to compare up against real laptops.
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
