those are much better than a firmware based thing. its always either on or off but with a firmware it might be on for a while until the firmware and settings get loaded.

Why would they use one of the worst keyswitches on Earth

They cucked out on the cherry ML due to production reasons and instead use Kalih's low profile keyswitches (which are way better, they were the inspiration for BOX switches with the click bar), Now I would say it's the one of the best keyswitches on Earth.

It's the day.
Despite saying that the old process sucked and they had a new better one now, the new better process is only better for pine64 forum users.
This is what you gotta do:
1. go to the store
2. try to buy the pinebook
3. get told "there are problems with your order" because you don't have a coupon code. the explanation directs you to pine64.org
4. at this page, you
CANNOT EVEN FUCKING PREORDER A PINEBOOK WITHOUT FORUM CREDENTIALS
5. so you get those, and then enter them into that page, and you'll be told that you don't qualify for a free eMMC upgrade.
6. then you wait.
you will be waiting >72 hours, you're warned (elsewhere), because you're not a forum member.
Not being a forum member is akin to being a vandal, don'tcha'know. You're out there painting "pinebook sucks" on bathroom walls and abandoned buildings.
You're lucky to have been given this last chance to redeem your soul with forum access.

How do you fuck up this badly?

The keyboard looks super un-comfy. Wouldn't want to do much typing with such shallow keys.

Olimex also have ARM laptop. It's an A64 SoC (quad-core Cortex-A53), so not as fast as this Pinebook, but can still be useful depending on what you plan to do. It's also immune to the Spectre class of bugs, so safer than this Pinebook. The older Pinebook is more equivalent in specs, but that one had shoddy build because they where trying to fit everything into $100 price.
