A couple of questions/things that I hope will be addressed with the Pinebook Pro:
- Is there any chance you can move the power button off the keyboard? It was supremely annoying on my own Pinebook. I'm always scared to hold down Backspace to delete something, since I feel like I'm moments away from force-shutting down my laptop if I press the wrong key.
- Will the spacebar work better than on the current generation Pinebooks? My one doesn't work when I press it on the edges, which is very very annoying. I use my Pinebook for writing on the go, and that issue alone is serious enough to sometimes make me not want to use my Pinebook at all.
- Any comments on imports/taxes to the UK? When I bought my Pinebook online, I didn't realise that VAT was not included (which was not mentioned, but then I don't blame Pine at all). A $99 laptop stops being $99 when it turns out that I need to pay additional $20-something for shipping, and £20-ish for VAT, and another £15 just-because-we-feel-like-it fee imposed by the shipping company for the "privilege" of handling the import tax for me. Ideally, a UK (or at least EU) based reseller would simplify things a little bit.
