I plan on giving my initial impressions in the proper thread. Sorry it took a while to respond. Been dealing with a lot of health issues with family members. I will be making the change to have it run directly off of the barrel plug and unplugging the battery when I get some downtime to tinker some more. I WILL make this my daily driver come hell or high water.
Sure - and that's the right perspective to have, IMO. The hardware is good enough to use extensively, but it's far from perfect, and the software support is still a bit rough around the edges. Random kernel issues, hardware support that's good-but-not-great (see uboot - you can run mainline, at the cost of deep sleep - and if you run the BSP one with deep sleep, you lose sound some of the time on resume), etc.
"I'll daily driver it come hell or high water," and then reporting/fixing the issues, is exactly what the platform needs right now. Grumbling about the quirks, as was being done upthread, isn't terribly productive. Note them, report them, see if you can work around them, but it's a $200 laptop being sold basically at cost, to shake out the weird stuff.
