Pinebook Pro Initial Impressions

[bcnaz]

Thanks for the feedback. Stickied as I am very keen to hear from more of you.

Finally got Mine  !
I looked it over,  then charged it a few hours.
Then opened it up for inspection...  seemed the eMMC may have popped in a little...?
The left speaker wire was pulled a little tight, corrected that.
  It was a little hard getting the bottom to seat properly when I put it back together.
 Finally turned it on,  everything appears ok so far,  occasionally the keys do seem to not register but that seems to be improving.
I Did want to do updates first,  But there is no update icon.... ?
Next I guess I will look around the site for help on doing the initial updates and perhaps how to install the update icon.
  I am using Firefox with no problems,    ... so far.....

***  Thank You Pine64  and crew  ***

NO SOUND,
I had not tried the sound,  when I did try it,  NOTHING
tried both root/root  and  rock/rock
****
Discovered the 'Update" Icon was there in the lower right panel,  it kind of blends in.
