I thought i know what i was getting since i already own and sort of daily-drive my 14" OG Pinebook, but i was pleasantly surprised.
The Body is very nice and premium feeling.
The Keyboard is fixed, flex is absolutely no issue anymore thanks to the Aluminium.
Screen is very crisp and clean, also little to no flex.
Performance is very good with the additional feature to clock the CPU so i can work in terminal-only on 400mHz.
The Battery is also good but i think you could squeeze out more by optimization, which really doesn't matter because you can charge it anywhere with an USB port and an USB-C cable.
I was surprised by the usability "out of the two boxes", even if it's second batch, i had little problems using it outside of the terminal except the Chromium Browser...
i had chromium fixed in less than a few minutes but that got me thinking about firefox/iceweasel, which i still cannot get to run. And whats worse is, thunderbird does work fine on my OG pinebook (even with the exchange-plug-in), but not on the Pro, and i really want that to work.
Oh yeah, i really dislike the ISO Keyboard. Ordered a new one with ANSI, but that's my fault i guess.
Overall i will use the Pinebook Pro as my new daily driver, that's why i sold my ISO/UK to another enthusiast and ordered an ANSI one.
