It`s been one week since I received my Pinebook Pro. I`m really impressed by the quality and usability Pine64 delivered with the first batch.
Housing - Looks and feels great.
Display - I love the resolution and the colors and contrast of the IPS panel. It`s pretty bright, too.
Keyboard - It`s perfectly adequate. I still like my Cherry Stream 3.0 better, but that comparison is a little unfair. The layout is fine. I`m already quite accustomed to it (coming from a German layout).
Touchpad - Feels a bit laggy, as already mentioned in previous posts. Also two-finger taps don`t seem to get recognized. As @fire219 stated, a firmware update is already been worked on.
Battery - After the first full charge I used the PBP on two evenings (roughly 2x 3h), playing around, customizing the OS and streaming music with the Nextcloud web frontend and still had 40% charge left.
OS - It`s already absolutely usable. Compliments to all contributors! Yes, there are some minor issues, but I`m confident they`ll get ironed out soon. That`s the great thing about the community approach.
I really hope this device category is here to stay. A quality device for the open source community. I love it.
