First impressions

[mithbre]

I do not have a plastic film over my display or, if I do, I cannot find the edge. PINE64: if you ship with a plastic film over the display on production model (I don't care whether you do this.), please be certain there is some kind of pull-tab to get the thing off.

Try putting some tape on a corner and pull up. It looks like the protector was on the touch screen before it was shaped, so it's a nearly perfectly fit. If the black areas look speckly then you have a screen protector on.

As others have mentioned the trackpad issue, but what I've noticed is that the area you can move it around in depends on where I last tapped on the screen.
Bottom right makes me unable to get to the left half, top left allows movement in all but an inch or two on the sides.

In my specific unit, plugging in the mini HDMI hole is not lined up with the port

It's extremely tight, tight enough that Ill likely take a file to the case at some point.


For those that wish to take apart the Pinetab.

Follow the blue line with a plastic spudger, NOT the red line. Open from top to bottom, remove the top first. I found the top left (near the I/O) to be the easiest starting point. Be patient putting it back together, the bottom may not be easy to align.

My favorite thing from looking at the inside is that it looks like the flash memory can be replaced if you don't mind cutting through some foam tape.
Also mine has very late 2019 stamped all over the place (cables and mobo) inside, have they really been in production since December?
