@Luke_PINE64 Awesome, thanks for the info! Aside from a couple small kinks this thing is basically perfect.

I pumped out a review on my unit if anybody wants my thoughts on it:

Pinebook Pro: Initial Impressions

Please see the product page and the thread here on L1T if you want more details on what the Pinebook Pro is and what it represents.

Mine did come with an ISO layout physically, but ANSI logically which messed me up at first, but even as I’m typing this review up I’m getting used to the layout. ANSI is coming down the pipeline from what I hear. I honestly could have picked ISO by accident, it wouldn’t surprise me. It is mostly personal, but I find the trackpad to be my first real complaint. I loathe textured trackpads to get that out of the way. I am also running into an issue where sometimes when I go to click the cursor shoots down and left. It may be because I move the pointer with my middle finger and click with my index finger and the trackpad misreading it. Luke at Pine64 says there is a firmware fix coming fo…
