I just got my PBP yesterday. I havn't been experiencing any of the problems mentioned in the thread. It worked like a charm right out of the box. I like the sturdy metal feel of the chassi.
The best thing is the screen. I was watching the ATP tennis from London all evening and the video was smooth and very nice colors. Compares well to my Macbook Pro IMO.
When watching tennis I plugged in the power chord and brought up the screen brighness to 80-90%. The battery time seems good though. I've had it running today for 2-3 hours doing terminal work and browsing at about 30% brightness. I'm at 70% percent battery remaining.
The keyboard is just fine! Perhaps not for doing 8 hours work/day but my initial impression is kind of neutral. Not the best I've tested but certainly not the worst either. It won't be a problem for me.
My line of work is media services, mostly video conferencing, so I wanted to test the built in camera straight away. I had some trouble with white balancing (too much reds) and exposure distortion in the whites. I was running webrtc in chromium on the factory mate os. I will look into this!
The only thing that I don't like at all is the trackpad. Precision is difficult and there's latency. It's no big problem for me though. 95% I use usb mouse or keyboard.
My overall impression is very positive!
