Fullscreen youtube looks and sounds good, but masto doesn't like videos from my phone, so imagine a video of a video playing back here (it is Jamiroquai's "King for a Day" if you are a method tootreader)

The power light flashes as a drive use indicator and this is immediately better than 99% of the laptops on the market.

I will continue to update this thread throughout the next few days as I become more acquainted with my new pal.

Also, expect some feedback on the internals tomorrow, as I expect to receive the NVMe drive that is destined for mounting in the pinebook pro by the end of today.

with chromium open to the toot-lab and htop running in a terminal, memory use is sitting at 864 megabytes.

Suspend on close and resume on open work nicely on the default OS image.

@djsundog It has a nice form factor, modern but with some restraint. How's the screen on it?

@Mainebot it's pretty nice! 1080p with a matte finish (I am not a fan of glossy glass panels, so the matte display is a plus for me)

Quite readable at 50% brightness, 100% is actually a little too bright for my taste (but still not blurry)

After the lag issues, my main complaint was the trackpad. No Settings control...Has that improved?

@Algot @Mainebot so far, I'm seeing fewer phantom taps while typing compared my original Pinebook - here's a screenshot of the available settings under the default OS install (Debian with Mate desktop):

@Algot @Mainebot I'm generally not a trackpad fan (trackball4lyfe) but this one isn't making me want to break things so far...

I'm weird in that I live and die using a trackpad and mouse simultaneously in my workflow.

tech? no! man, see...

@djsundog @Mainebot wait dang; is that outdoor photo taken at half-brightness?

I've been looking for a matte screen that doesn't suck on brightness for outdoor work for years. might have to pick one up next spring when it gets warm again.

@technomancy yeah, it's nice! I am looking forward to warmer days for more outdoor testing as well ;)
