I've used it for a few days now and I really like it. I've managed to set it up pretty well. The few awkward issues seem to have been resolved. I'm adjusting to the keyboard spacing and my Logitech Bluetooth mouse is working well. I like the feel of the keyboard. Better than my Mac or my Logitech keyboards (and of course much improved over the original Pinebook keyboard.) The case is beautiful and the high resolution screen is great.
The system is very responsive. I don't put many compute intensive tasks so everything works well. Video and sound are great.
I am using the USB C for charging and now at 100% charge steady state it seems to use about 5 watts power. Battery life is easily 10+ hours.
The MicroUSB card slot works well if you push it until it clicks. If you don't have long fingernails, you'll need to use a paperclip. (All my other computers with this type of slot work the same... it's just that the card is small. It rather have this recessed slot than run the risk of the card extending from the case and accidentally being ejected.)
I can easily see this being my main utility computer. I've ordered a USB C to video hub and we'll see how that works.
