I hope to use it for web browsing and some light programming on the go. Would this be a good purchase?Speaking from experience with a RK3399 chromebook, the PBPro would be a *great* match for those purposes, as long as the battery and device thermals are not neglected. So far we have a confirmation of 38Wh battery -- same as on the ASUS c101pa, which gets nice 6-8h out of that (proper work, not VPU "work") but the screen on that ASUS is 10", and here we have a 14" one, so lower times should be expected. Thermals are a wildcard for now.
I’m hoping they include a heat pipe or two for good performance under load.
