#2I noticed this has a removable battery, which makes this very interesting to me.
What I'd like to know is if it will work with the battery compartment empty on AC power only.
I'd like to have "smart" displays wall mounted around the house with dashboards on them. I've read about so many instances where people used wall mounted iPads and Android tablets where the batteries would swell after a period of use.

#3How is touch screen on linux these days, I'm probably pick one up but can't imagine running UBports on 2GB ram.
I would rather use i3/lighter DE + touch screen support for some GUI apps?

Yep, this was the first thing I thought of. Hoping to do the same thing.

#5The Pine folks have been doing fantastic work over the last several years. Does anyone know of ways to support them other than buying products? I don’t really need these gadgets right now, and don’t have the time to tinker, but want to encourage the ecosystem from a long-term perspective. For example, I’d love to give them some money and become a long-term member/shareholder/something. I don’t really care for the rate of return; I’m more interested in a reason to stay engaged with the organization as its products might mature into my use cases, and help them along the way.

Here's a demo of UBports Ubuntu on the Pinephone:

The Pinebook laptops can work without a battery while connected to AC, but not out of the box. A simple hardware mod is necessary to enable this, that's documented by Pine.

One suggestion, buy a product for someone who could use it but doesn’t have the resources. As a kid who loved to tinker and had no money this would have meant the world to me at that time.

Was thinking the same...school donations maybe?
