Just so excited - ronoc - 09-04-2019
I don't have much to say except that I was so excited to find this laptop. It is precisely what I am looking for. Low-cost, web, linux, light-weight and I don't need a google account to login.

Posting here just to add my excitement
Ordered my PBP about an hour ago. Can't wait to play around with it. October ship date unfortunately, I wish I would have just bit the bullet when I first heard about preorders.. but oh well! Time flies. Planning on installing Arch arm and hoping to get vscode (community build from headmelted.com) and .net core running stable.. would be a nice little dev machine for work with (hopefully) great battery life.

Something they don't really cover where I haven't been able to find it is what audio codecs will this work with? Aptx hd, LDAC, AAC or SBC? hoping for Aptx hd ?

I haven't been excited for a new laptop computer since the mid 2000s Powerbook G4 days. Fully non-Intel and non-MS computer with a decent quality Matte display is what I've been wanting for a while -- Apple's butterfly keyboard missteps have just been killing me.
Give a lot of my work is now data analysis, light Python (anything big uses a Jupyter notebook server), and microcontroller firmware updating (flashing and testing, not programming), this honestly works really well for me as a potential daily driver.
We use so many Raspberry Pis at work, it would just be nice to work with arm-hf builds for troubleshooting on something a little beefier than the Pi B+.
