Received my PBP yesterday, and could not be happier. Just love it - it's a beautiful machine.
Just to add a couple of comments, for me just using it for web browsing and email, it's been perfect, and couldn't ask for more.
First thing I did when I got it home was fully charge the battery and run the update script.
I've mostly been using Firefox, and has not crashed on me yet. Initially had no sound, but after opening the "Control Center" then Sound: found that output volume was set to "Mute". Once unchecked - all good. Sound quality is OK, may be a little on the tinny side, but I haven't played around with any other setting at this stage.
I found the Touch-pad (apart from the already know issues) can be markedly improved by setting the Pointer Acceleration and Sensitivity to max (I only type with one finger, so no issues with the keys not registering).
The display is just beautiful - superb for watching video. A really nice keyboard, and battery life seems excellent at this stage.
On first 100% charge down to 12%, I've had a good 8 hours of use, watching some YouTube, browsing the web and email.
So thanks everyone, well done.
Edit: I do note that the touch-pad is playing up somewhat while I'm charging the PBP, remove the power pack plug and everything returns to normal.
