Unbelievable; absolutely unbelievable...this forum is being taken over by adults.
"...Now considering the Pinebook Pro's specs, what have we to complain about ? "
Weeeell, how about...
0) It costs only $200.00--a real downer when it comes to bragging. Now, those 'smartphone' people, with their $2000 'smartphones', really understand what it takes to provide me with REAL bluster and swagger (doesn't matter that I don't have a clue as to how to actually use their stuff...and never have);
1) It doesn't have 16 cores;
2) It's black;
3) It doesn't run Windows;
4) The processor doesn't run at 4 GHz;
5) The Pine Group takes too long to get their product out the door; nobody else, these days, wastes any of MY valuable bragging time performing validation testing and actual QA on their product before shoveling it out the door--I can have most things NOW, to show everyone how technologically 'with-it' and how absolutely brilliant I am;
6) It can only support--for now--128 GB of eMMC (I don't want to hear about the 2 TB of m.2 SSD)
7) It doesn't come in a magnesium-alloy case. Oh, wait...

That quickly set my requirement level because, man, how much could be done already on such "low tech" spec machines.
Now considering the Pinebook Pro's specs, what have we to complain about ?
