The editors didn't like

  • I would make the external power connector USB-C. It would be nice to be able to charge/power this from any USB-C enabled power brick or even a battery pack. I noticed when I ran this in dual screen mode that the touchscreen didn't respond the same – it wa

  • The Raspberry Pi 4 is already a powerful device, easily beating its predecessors and its similarly-priced competition in a range of benchmarks. For those who need still more, though, overclocking is a quick and easy way to wring a little extra perform...

  • Neat internal wiring, Good screen, Good OS support
  • Short battery life, Noisy fan
  • The RasPad 3 has all the ingredients to be a great product. The big screen along with many interfaces coming from the Pi will make it a great hacking/DIY companion. The weak points are a noisy fan and power management that could do a better job with a pow...

  • Cheap, Well put together and good looking, Easy to set up, Good support from this seller, Sounds great so far
  • Not totally plug and play, Extras are recommended by the seller, Not as sophisticated as commercial products, Pretty basic and with no on-box control
  • If I lived in the UK and bought from this seller I'd have had a Roon endpoint streamer for £125, which is silly good value for money.Given that the unit is ready built, the operating system and necessary software is pre-installed set up is very simple eve...

  • Good out-of-the-box experience, Plenty of Arduino-like modules, Good software support, Modern and compact design
  • Unconventional location of power and brightness/volume buttons, Flimsy keyboard
  • The CrowPi2 is an evolution from the previous version and has potential of being a hit in the educational sector. The provided software is good and works out of the box with the various modules. The full-HD screen allows easy text editing and graphic mani...
