The eMMC module is user swappable, so just get a larger one. You can also install an NVMe drive into it. I put /boot on the stock eMMC and root on the NVMe drive. You can do pure NVMe boot but I've been a bit too chicken about reflashing u-boot.
The ram does feel paltry in this day and age though. I wish you could use a sodimm module like the honeycomb uses.

- nix23 5y agoThanks you made my day ;) Tomorrow i will buy that incredible new laptop, any cheap atom/celeron netbook would be faster..and better...and probably cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Chromebook-Processor-Graphics-82BA0003US/dp/B087YW8FQB https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Chromebook-Processor-Graphics-...
- vorpalhex 5y agoMidori is a lightweight option that is pretty usable. Some intensive sites have issues on it but for plenty of things it's fine.
- nix23 5y agoGood point for buying a new laptop ;)
- rjsw 5y agoThe SoC in the Pinebook Pro can only address 4GB of RAM, it wouldn't make any difference to add a sodimm socket. The RK3566 that is used in the latest Pine64 products like the Quartz64 and PineNote can address more, I would expect a laptop using this chip at some point.
