I thought that with a new plane, they wouldn't just retrofit the same crappy IFE system, but give this a clean sweep. Apparently not.

The electronic window shades take a looong time to activate, and they don't go fully dark.

The in-seat AC ports were lit up, but didn't work in many of the seats, even though the system was indicating A-OK.
Took the flight last month and had no issues. I agree the IFE is a bit finicky, but that could very easily be fixed and doesn't change the fact that it's an incredible new aircraft and the novelty of BOS-NRT nonstop. FWIW, I flew JA827J and JA826J
