I've been using Pine products since their Kickstarter, and received my 11'' Pinebook about two weeks ago. I currently use it for quick, on-the-go dev work.
Mine is set so that it boots from the internal 16gb eMMC into Ubuntu Xenial w/ i3wm. Then, I can either extend the storage or have it boot into Android, or any other distro, if I have an SD card inserted.
The Android build is well-refined with very few issues; just like the Pine64 SoC, Android is best for media-related use. The linux builds were rough at first, but most of the major issues have been fixed already by the community devs. They're also working on getting Linux on the mainline kernel, and to get 3D acceleration working.
It'll be a huge step for ARM if this device works out.
