If they use the same god-awful WiFi-chipsets as they use on the other Orange Pis... well, the driv ...

The Wifi Chipset Used in OP-PC-Plus and OP-Lite is different from other OPIs... these new boards now uses " 8189ftv " wifi chipset .

Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about -- will be totally useless with mainline-kernels.

i think onboard flash can be also a disadvantage. now I can buy 2-3 different micro sd cards and can ...

Um, you can use microSD-cards even if there was onboard flash.

One of the great things about the pc is that there is no usb hub with the ports going straight to the soc. Will the changes mean that this is going to change and that all the ports/peripherals will be connected to a hub and have to share the same bandwidth?

The good news is that very soon OP-PC-PLUS will be launched , PC-PLUS will be same as original OP-PC ...

The beauty of the Orange Pi PC is what is there is done well. I think adding 8GB Flash pre-installed with a good OS will be a good addition--having used another board with a pre-installed OS.

However, I would humbly recommend that you leave out the onboard WiFi. The assumption is that the end user wants WiFi at all and if they do, that 150N is sufficient. Instead, I recommend that you sell SUPPORTED USB 2.0 WiFi dongles (150N, 300N, and AC600) at a reasonable price.

Instead of onboard WiFi, maybe consider adding one or more of the following:

2GB RAM
1GB ethernet
Real SATA support

Yes, I have the Orange Pi Plus 2, but it is limited by USB ports sharing one hub, slow WiFi (~40Mbps thruput), and pitiful SATA. At that price point ($49 USD), the slow WiFi and pitiful SATA are value-subtracts.. better leave them out and sell it for less or keep the profit.
