We expect to release extra main boards with different processors and memory configurations in the future. Alternative main board processors and memory configuration options will be available in the future.
These should work with all other existing boards. These should be compatible with all other existing boards.
It is expected newer main boards to have higher laptop speed and improved memory performance. Subsequent revisions are expected to have increased processing speed and improved memory performance.
