First impressions:
[hw] looks pretty decent (for the price)
[kbd] didn't order the keyboard
[ps] i was expecting a Plug in Power supply? My unit only arrived with a RED USB Type-A to barrel adapter cable?
[sw] didn't really like UBPorts (default) much - as others have noted Camera(s) don't work, WiFi is weak, Sound doesn't work and file system is RO (so you can't update packages using sudo apt update/install by default)
so I tried + got Mobian booting off the SDCard
overall I like this distro much better (Cameras work, Sound works but is quiet (low volume), Browser can log into Google) but as others have noted the rotation is manual (but at least can do both Portait & Landscape) and the keyboard is phone sized (so difficult to press the correct on-screen keys on a tablet like PineTab. But my hope is that Mobian will replace UBPorts as the primary default distro once these minor annoyances get fixed.
Still booting Mobian off the SDCard but will try loading it on the eMMC to see if performance increases next...
