Alright! I've finally received mine 
Issues: Sleep/suspend function is broken. It works for the first use but not subsequent uses (either folding the laptop, using the fn+esc shortcut or trying to suspend via menu)
Secondly (most annoying issue), there was a sticker that read '365/128gb' or something to the left of the palm rest. Trying remove it revealed it was a very low quality sticker that was not intended to be removed cleanly, for whatever reason. It left behind a lot of sticky, papery residue when peeled away. Cleaning this up also removed a lot of what appeared to be black paint, leaving a large ugly 'polished' section on the bottom left palm rest.
Thirdly, the trackpad is not pleasant to use.
Lastly, the keyboard doesn't seem to be fitted in the laptop chassis correctly, some keys are very 'crunchy' to press & will get stuck in the chassis.
On to positives:
The battery life is great so far & the screen, while quite dim, is usable.
Software is quite slow & buggy atm. In the positives list as most of us here probably enjoy tinkering with this stuff
It's worth the $200.00 for a metal framed 'throwaway' laptop, though with the steep shipping price & potential import taxes, it's likely cheaper to find a linux compatible chromebook
At present I couldn't recommend this as a daily driver, unfortunately.
