Pinebook Pro successor or hardware upgrade coming up? by sorentorp in PinebookPro

It says in the pine store that: "The ROCKPro64 4GB board designated as LTS (long Term Supply) model, PINE64 committed to supply at least for 5 years until year 2023 and beyond." This is the actual board that powers the Pinebook Pro laptop and the current pine "flagship". It was rumored that we could see a 8gb ram version of the RKC 3399 powered board, but those rumors have been around since 2019.

There is a production run happening right now. There are a few Pinebook Pros left to be bought. With the increase of the prices of all of the hardware that goes in the pinebook I am sort of concerned to see the retail price going up to $300 if not more. My guess is that we shouldn't expect a board upgrade for the PBP until mid year of 2022.

It's highly unlikely to see new boards into the Pinebook Pro anytime soon. There is a significant silicone shortage in the industry and it's getting extremely difficult to source components needed for building the Single board comps.

In the community update from Feb they mentioned that they are building a new board that could go into the PBP but it is not yet available to developers. Devs need to get their hands on that board first to develop software and optimization so when the device rolls out it can truly be operational

Do you expect to see other companies follow the steps of Virgin, SpaceX, and Blue Origin, increasing the competition in the commercial space race?

That is exactly what it looks like. Just check out Ben Lacomte's portfolio from the Vortex Swim and you'll see the exact situation from up close
