If anyone is wondering whether the ASUS #Chromebook Flip C101p is my #PinePhone Pro + Keyboard replacement: In some use cases, maybe — but it lacks 4G and, comparatively, is a freaking giant:
@Shatur Thanks! Funeral is a good moderator, but I doubt they have inside info. I agree that it would be a loss, although I would appreciate Keyboard v2 with revised, more reliable main board and a better indication (led?) regarding "is this charging the device". (Also: backlit keys would be awesome, making it more generic (beyond PinePhone, by adding BT for keyboard and USB charging) would be lovely, and I would happy to pay way more for just a more reliable keyboard.)

@linmob how is Linux support on the P8 mini laptop? I found most of these small devices have vertical screens and use software rotation which causes a lot of issues
@swisscheese Yeah, it has a vertical screen and ... when you connect an external display, good luck ever turning that internal screen back on. My best guess so far is that the display needs a proper driver, it's really not much fun. nomodeset makes it more reliable, but also slower. I don't even know if it works better with Windows, I bought it without an SSD and thus did not try it with the copy of Windows these otherwise come with.
