The space bar sometimes needs extra hitting to work.  Where on the space bar I press seems to make a difference.

I use the command line "sudo apt-get ..." instead of the Software Updater, it says "not enough disk space on /boot".

When I try to press the backspace key, I somtimes accidentally press the power key.  It then shuts down without a dialogue box.

It seems like a good buy for $99 plus $30 shipping. Its much better for general use than a pi book, which I also own.

The "not enough disk space on /boot" problem is present on other SBCs too. If you flash one of the newer images you'll be able to update from GUI. 

Also, purely out of curiosity, pi book ? you mean the Pi-Top ?
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
