[EdLUG] GPD pocket up for grabs

[Edinburgh Linux Users Group]

Hi all

Some time ago I backed the GPD Pocket Indiegogo and got one.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gpd-pocket-7-0-umpc-laptop-ubuntu-or-win-10-os

It turns it out it's much more of a hobbyist's machine - whilst it works
pretty nicely when it does work, it has boot time issues (sometimes boots
to off mode, does not always clear a suspend/restart bit somewhere).
Sometimes has wireless issues (interface just drops, reboot to start again).

I no longer have the time or inclination to troubleshoot these kinds of
things so if anybody is interested in having a play around with it, do let
me know, I can hand over the item, sometime in evening or week-end.

It has been re-installed recently using the Ubuntu MATE 18.10 image for GPD
Pocket, I can throw in a USB stick with that image on if desired.
