Pinebook first impressions

[Pagliacci]

Just received the Pinebook.

Well I'm very disappointed that nobody, especially the moderator @MarkHaysHarris777, has bothered to comment on the serious keyboard issues at least.

 --  you have got to be kidding, right ?

I am the one who is driving getting the Pinebook keyboard module(s) replaced on the 14" Pinebook, 

Please read this entire thread :

... particularly posts #4, #9, #10, #11, and #12.


Thanks.



PS:   We have two individuals who will be testing the new Pinebook with updated keyboard on this week.  TLLim has indicated that the vendor is willing to replace the keyboard modules if we insist.  The new Pinebooks ( with updated keyboard modules ) will be shipping next batch, presuming that the two individuals selected to test give it their blessing.

Please check out the rest of the forum, and feel free to discuss anything that concerns you live on the irc chat;  see address below;  I live there most days ( and nights ).

I was referring to the specific serious keyboard faults in my own post. Namely the constantly repeating "-" key and the non functioning Shift m combination (left Shift). Which nobody bothered to even comment on. Is this just another aspect of the Pinebook 14" keyboard woes or another new aspect?

Is it likely that Pinebook 14" owners will have a replacement keyboard sent to them?

I repeat that I regret purchasing the Pinebook (it clearly wasn't ready to be shipped - not tested nearly enough) but the Rock64 board seems promising
