Initial Impressions
06-05-2023, 11:18 AM
The PineTab 2 came extremely well packed and was promptly delivered; I chose courier service & it arrived a day sooner than initially stated.
Boot-up was quick and straightforward without issue. Setup was also a breeze thanks to the quick reference card in the box. The build quality seems excellent; I couldn’t find any flaws. The back-lit keyboard is fine, the mouse is really accurate & responsive & the function key combos I’ve tried work.
After changing the initial passwords, I wanted to get online to check for updates; Wifi isn’t active yet, so I used the dock for my PineBook Pro (lan) and had no issues getting online. No updates were found and I installed my normal apps through terminal (personal preference) without any problems.
USB tethering seems to work flawlessly with the original PinePhone (Mobian/kernel: 5.15-sunxi64), as well as a KaiOS phone with a cheap USB OTG adapter, I used hama part #00200311 for both tests.
I’m really impressed with it so far & going to take it to work tomorrow to test it out.
