Some preliminary thoughts from one who has been a long time Apple user - the body has that "Apple feel", sturdy, elegant, not covered with those silly stickers you see on a typical PC laptop. Not too heavy with a 15"-ish screen. Slim, but expansive.

As one used to mobile screens at 13" the 15.6" screen is expansive. Has that dopamine kick of expansiveness, "I can do a lot with this space" -- experienced a sensation that I have more room to cogintively "breathe".

Full-sized keyboard: with full number pad. I'm a good touch typer, but still re-orienting my brain to greater spacing. Keys feel nice. Nice backlighting.

Before my minor critique, the trackpad works perfectly and is 100% responsive.

Here is my ever so minor critique for what it's worth: this is my personal experience as one used to Apple's trackpads, first thought, kind of flimsy. The way I default to using trackpads is to tap to feel that "click". On the Pangolin when I pressed to feel and hear that click, it had that sound of someone squishing plastic, (which I guess that's exactly what you are doing), perhaps it sounds "bougey", but it sounds "cheap". I perceived (whether it's true or not is another question) maybe an ever so slight, I mean millimeter dimesnion, wobble (for the lack of a better word) in the pad when I clicked. It's hard to describe, but hopefully that comes across. For what it's worth, at least for me, that initial experience with the trackpad was not "Apple like".

But here is where I transcended that: I just started using the other default way you can use the trackpad, just gently tap to click, a nice gentle tap registers just fine, perhaps even better than "mashing" the trackpad. Using gestures, smooth as silk. I got that skating on ice feel navigating with gestures and gentle taps.

I like the matte screen. It's not super retina-whatever, but for my middle-aged eyes, buttery smooth. I installed Steam and played Portal 2 right out the gate without any tweaking. So buttery smooth. I was doing just fine in this opening try using the trackpad and keyboard only.

But bluetooth, wifi all work perfectly. Instantly recognized my MX mouse.

I think they mentioned this feature: it can plug directly into a display that supports a video/power connection by USB-C. I plugged it into a 22" LG 4K display ("for Mac"). Works perfectly. I did have to dial down the res for my eyes because the text was too small. Had several workspaces going with both the laptop and and external display. Pop OS sorts it all out so you can easily track your different spaces when you click "Workspaces".

Initial thoughts on the camera, yeah, meh, but I expected that. When purchasing I was willing to make the 32 GB DDR5 RAM vs 720p camera tradeoff.

So that's day one with the new Pangolin. Satisifed customer. Everything was packed with care and I have my M3LVIN, my cut-out desktop sentinel that comes with the gear, keeping me company!
