I know I've publicly complained about what a pain #ARM is as a platform for open devices (from the perspective of an end user/normie), but I can't help but hope that @PINE64 comes out with a new #PineBook (The #PinebookPro is now a little over five years old).

This little device sure has its flaws, but I can't get over:
* The price (< 220 USD)
* The weight (1.2kg)
* The screen (14" 1080p IPS)
* The keyboard (one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever used)
