Overheating is the major issue overall I'd say. From time to time I'd get random freezes during load, but it became unbearable recently when ambient temperature started to hit 28C during summer. I've bought one of those nonsense "laptop cooling pad" to see if it makes any difference and boy it does. No freezes ever since, I can video call on web skype for hours (almost 100% freeze reproducer before) with battery charge not falling below 88%. Mind that I'm running stock CPU frequencies by now (stock as in RK3399 stock: 1.8GHz).
Makes me wonder if rk3399 is suitable for passive cooling.
The second major issue -- not enough power for all the peripherals but more power likely means more heat. Personally I'd prefer thicker laptop but with active cooling.
