Mine arrived and had a tiny, tiny glowing pin hole and also a very tiny black speck. Dust between the layers, I assume. Argh. I went to Best Buy and picked one up and that one is thankfully perfect!
Initial observations are pretty much the same as what everyone has already stated, but I'll give mine anyway.
The lighting is a major improvement to the PW1! Much more even. I LOVE it.
NO color blotches at all. It seems like a miracle!
Noticeably faster!
The software is fantastic. I love all the new additions!
Nicer overall tone, a bit warmer, some people may not like this though
With the light on the lowest setting the background is indeed whiter than on my old PW. Although, mind you, it is still gray and not white. It's just more white than my previous PW. Maybe a shade whiter.
Overall I am pleased.
Making this addition. One thing I did notice after using it more. The font does seem ever so slightly more gray compared to my PW1. A bit disappointing.
However, that said, seeing that pinhole on the one delivered from Amazon was pretty depressing. It's extremely tiny, and so is the black speck, my friend couldn't really see it, but I guess I have the vision of an eagle because I spotted it right away. I went the Best Buy route just because I didn't want to get on the merry go round again with Amazon and wait for them in the mail. If the Best Buy one had issues, I was going to be done with it.
Xendula, I'm so sorry yours has pin holes.
Do you have a Best Buy near you? Maybe worth picking one up there. All my local Best Buys have them in stock today.
On a side note, when you buy it from Best Buy they come in nice second box overlay that goes over the main black box.
