I own a tablet with Snapdragon 600, which has roughly twice higher Geekbench score, but it seems to me quite slow already.

So I would like to ask the guys who already have their PB, about the performance impressions. Which system is faster, Linux or Android? If you run Android, which apps do you use and how fast are they?

Android seemed faster to me, but I guess I would expect it to be considering it looks like a smaller footprint of an OS, the UI is much simpler, and it the multi tasking is very different.  I will say though that the UI limitations are not worth it in my opinion. Overly large icons, status bars, soft keys, the weird dragging / scrolling (Android really likes touch interfaces, mouse/touchpads are kinda like a hack) etc..etc.. just really wasn't worth it to me.

That being said, I really don't think the Linux UI was tuned very well.  I would have figured they would choose lxde or xfce for the desktop and not Mate.
