Pinebook Pro Initial Impressions

[mishakmak]

I just got my Pinebook Pro delivered, and boy am I impressed. 

What I like:

• The finish is great and the casing looks and feels solid. 
  
• The display looks absolutely great and the screen is a very large portion of the upper case.
  
• The keyboard is quite nice, although the ISO layout will take some getting used to.
  
• The default operating system, while not exactly how I would set it up, looks great and runs snappy.
  
• The computer is very fast and has no problem running anything from LibreOffice to 1080p YouTube Playback and even a modern web browser.
  

What I don't like:

• The trackpad is not great. While functional, it feels a bit laggy and makes two clicks when you click the middle.
  
• The camera looks a touch bulky. Sure, I may be nitpicking on this one, but the device would look much nicer if it didn't protrude from the case.
  

Over all, I really do like the machine, and look forward to having it for daily use. If there was an option for a better trackpad and an ANSI variation of the bottom case, I think I would really enjoy that.
