Pinebook Pro Initial Impressions

[bcnaz]

Hello all,

I noticed today that the bottom cover is not flush with the edge of the case on my Pinebook Pro. In particular, on the left edge near the IO. I had a brief look around and so far it seems pretty difficult to get both sides to go home at the same time. Anyone had something like this? I also noticed that one of the plastic standoffs were broken pretty much as soon as I opened the case.

I noticed the same thing on my pinebook pro as well. I haven't even bothered to open it up because I have read posts on here about how hard it is to take the back panel off and don't want to break any of the clips that snap into place. I guess I'll just make do with it. Besides that I have liked this laptop. I've been able to use firefox and chromium and haven't had any of the crashes people have discussed. I wonder if they would have charged at least $100 more, how much better the build quality could have been. I do wish the speakers could be better but doesn't really bother me.

 Yeah,  Mine was perfectly flush when I got it.

  But,  When I went to put it back on I could not get it that perfect again...  The first try it was pretty obvious it was no where near flush.

 I read in another post to "Bow" it slightly while installing it.   So I tried that, and with each try it improved.

 It appears to be just a 'hair' longer than the opening  ?

 I was tempted to try and give it a slight 'Bend' ( ya know more than a 'bow' ? )

 But,  instead I settled for it looking almost flush.

My spacers are undamaged,  and only needed to be re-aligned one time when I opened and closed the bottom cover.

 I do hope they start to offer some of those little parts on the website, it would be easy to lose or break those little spacers.

I would buy some ahead of time for those   "Just in case" senerios,  better to have 'on hand' than have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for parts.UPDATE

NO SOUND : With some YouTube ads ? Using FireFox Strict settings
Appears there is no check box to turn on 'DRM' ? I am thinking that could be it ?
( Not that I mind it muting the ads) :-)
