Pinebooks Pro's as a chromebook replacement is actually quite appealing to me. I service a couple of chromebooks that I bought for my non-tech savvy family members. It's ideal since they spend 99% of the time in the browser and are less prone to drive-by attacks that download random executables. However, I have a couple of concerns: 1) The build quality of the (various) chromebooks I've bought tends to be quite terrible, which is not great since many of them use it while cooking and get banged up a great deal. 2) Occasionally, they'll need a desktop app (e.g. the MS Teams web app has fewer features, or Google Docs just not always cutting it). 3) I hate locking them onto the Google ecosystem. Now that they're due for replacement, I think I'll just get a Pinebook. The build quality is certainly better than the Acer and Lenovo chromebooks we have, and the fact that you can just replace the board for around $100 is very appealing.
