What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is a neat, affordable computer-in-a-keyboard that makes getting started easy, with cooling good enough for a higher default clock than the Pi 4 and room to overclock. The common criticisms are awkward access to the GPIO header for add-on boards and no camera or display connectors; Wired found the keyboard comfortable for long typing sessions.
