Next, try either the default debian update, 1.5 or another OS to see if WiFi changes. Some of them disable WiFI power saving, having WiFI run at full power all the time.

It's early days, so some of us don't have all the answers. Like checking WiFi power savings. When I looked at WiFi power saving 2 weeks ago, I could not figure out where the WiFi parameters were changed. It will be figured out and documented.

If this were not a single board computer,  you could just unplug that wifi card and plug in a new one.  (?)

I Do Doubt they could test every component before soldering it to the motherboard,    (even a tinkerer could find that tiresome.?)

Have you attempted using a usb/wifi adapter just to compare the performance.?

Even a larger company does have an occasional non-standard unit slip through.

TRY   ...  to not take it personally,  I am pretty sure they do attempt to deliver quality merchandise.

I am certain I would have been sad (very upset)  if I had the same problems...

 and,  Most of us did get just that.

So how have you managed your issue with them ? Pissing them off ?

The teams that work on hardware/software (thats where the magic happens!), the admins that coordinate efforts and manage logistics (thats where the magic happens!) and to all the people who regularly (and some random) post the solutions and ideas that keep me coming back here(this is where the magic continues to happen!).

So THANKS! and GOOD JOB!

This is not really an initial impression, more of a "I've had some time and know what it's capable of" impression.

I love the Pine Book Pro! It's exactly what i wanted and more than I expected. It reminds me of my acer aspire one when it still worked.
I had forgotten how much i liked that machine, and though i wasnt looking for it, I found a replacement.

I wanted a machince i can dedicate to learning linux on and not get lazy and boot windows on, also learn more about arm and learn to bend sbc's to my will without having to hook keyboards and monitors to it. As it turns out its also a great laptop!

I have had some of the problems i see posted here, most have been resolved by updates or helpful post. This may be a dumb suggestion but to the people having wifi problems, I can't swear this fixed my issue because it's been a while since i made any changes but setting ipv6 to ignore in the edit connection gui seemed to help my issue. I have to do this at work from time to time (windows). I have to turn it back on for captive portal in hotels and such. I have a vague notion about why this may help in my case, its more about the network or router than pbp. Ofcourse this wont help if your antenna is bad and you've measured signal strength with something more legible than the tray icon, and pulled the antenna connection and didn't see a change in signal strength.

I have the no sound in firefox issue and saw the fix for that. Will get to that shortly.

One thing is my bluetooth mouse wont reconnect. The device monitor shows it's connected  after reboot, gives link quality info that update and changes but doesnt resopnd to mouse input. Any suggestions on where to look? Pretend I only know enough linux to be dangerous if you have a suggestion, I'm actually pretty good at it. This is only my third unplanned reinstall after all. That reminds me, How can I make a backup, I like what i have now. Do i just RTFM?
