i think it was pretty widely reported in the forum before the release of the pinebook that the parts were off the shelf components. apparently folks did not understand what this means. most manufacturers take stock that has been returned as unacceptable for some reason by prior customers and keep it in the hope that someone else will come along and want to use it. hence the screen issue on the 11" pinebook and the keyboard issue on the 14". people that spend 89-99 bucks on a laptop should not expect quality just hopefully something that works. as i see it the only people who got shafted on this deal are those whose country charged them unreasonable amounts in customs charges, taxes, tariffs, etc.
Keyboard buttons should be pressed hardly
