I just received my pinebook yesterday afternoon and from the little hands-on experience I've had so far I think it's quite a fair product for the price. I bought the 14" model and have already re-installed the latest Ubuntu MATE Version as well as running Android 7.1 from sd card. From the user experience side, I must agree that the overall feel of the system is a bit laggy when running Ubuntu from eMMC. But then the device is rather new and I'm looking forward to optimized releases of Ubuntu MATE or maybe even DietPi (my favourite distro).
Regarding the cost for shipping, my pinebook was sent via DHL-Express and arrived only four days after I got the delivery notice. If it weren't sent via express, I'd probably have to wait another 3 weeks for the thing to arrive (in germany, europe). So personally, I can live with the pricing (€ 87 for the device, plus € 37 for shipping, plus € 44 import tax).
