Awesome, its here, its tiny and cute, FriendlyArm even supplied me with an SD card for it, which should have an OS on it but sadly it was blank, oh well as very small thing to complain about when you are given a freebie.
It really is fantastically small, the heatsink makes it a bit chunkier but I'm a tad worried that there just isn't enough contact between the CPU and the sink. The usual sticky pad might have benefited from being a little thicker, or the cpu itself raised a little, as there are other chips on the board that stop the sink clamping right down on it.. We'll see soon.
Another tiny niggle, is the USB C cord is very short, only about 12 inches, not really long enough, but I have a few adaptors I can use and some 5amp power units to make sure its well supplied,
Ok so once I've burned Lubuntu to the SD, I'll get back to you
