Meh.

Keyboard felt mushy out of the box, firmware push fixed half the issues becuase of course it did

Picked it up again today

Imi grabbed one for her mum and now her whole family has one. tbh the $149 version is all most people actually need.

Setup was easy

Still ticking two weeks in and the charge barely budges overnight.

Underrated honestly

ugh i can't believe i waited this long to upgrade honestly. Battery life at £229 feels like something that should cost twice as much.

After a firmware push the one quirk i had just vanished completely.

Fine.

Harper got the same model and we compared notes, both of us love it. Nothing to complain about and that's rare for me as a buyer.

Hooked already

I definately didn't expect it to still feel new after a month of hard use. After a firmware push the one quirk i had just vanished completely.

Would I buy again, idk

Returned it, got a replacement, that one works, so I'm fine with it I guess. Honestly expected worse for the price, screen has one dead pixel but whatever. Fine, I guess. Not mad, not thrilled either way.

The $89 refurb is honestly the best money i've spent on tech this year. 10/10, no notes.

Legit the best impulse buy of my year by a mile. The $2,100 kit is a lot of money but the build quality shows every penny.

definately not buying from them again, the refurb died in a week. Not worth it, got burned on this one. havent been able to use it since day one, charger port is loose and wiggles.

Battery life, ugh

10/10 build, 4/10 on the software side. Make of that what you will. wasn't impressed day one but it grew on me, build feels alot cheaper than price suggests tho

Picked up the kit expecting magic, got competence, which is fine I suppose. Battery held up untill about month three then started acting weird on me.
