For me there are just a few things that really matter in a notebook:

• 14" size
  
• matte display
  
• good keyboard
  

This is why all my notebook, so far, have been T series ThinkPads.

Searching for a notebook that is less powerful and cheaper the Pinebook Pro looks really appealing. But I am wondering if the specs of the keyboard are already known?! I mean I do not care much about LEDs under it and clearly there is no use for a num pad, particularly on a 14" notebook. I am talking simply about deep key travel, high actuation force and good feedback.
I see that others are concerned as well. (link link2)
And in particular, it seems there were bad experiences with the non-Pro predecessor notebook. (link)

Can anyone clarify?

Also what is the status of the Pinebook Pro development? What work needs still to be done before it is going to production? Is there a roadmap?

Pretty sure that the display will be matte. The keyboard problems have been resolved.
Development for the Pinebook Pro is really down to dts at this point and porting of OS' - key devs getting their samples very soon.
