Review on πŸ”₯ GeeekPi Retroflag Raspberry Heatsink Portable Computer Parts by Obhed Mac

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Was DOA good for me for computer components

After watching all the youtube videos I was excited and ready for a great system. It couldn't take the hype. I ordered a full set just added some batteries. The Pi Zero came in stationary packaging, unfortunately due to the way it was packaged it fell out and bounced around in the box. The memory card is in a transparent bag with the adapter in a transparent sleeve, and the problem with the heatsink is that they are not in a transparent sleeve, so the heatsink and micro SD card will knock during transport. Put the system back together and the whole problem with setting up the software is that every time I turned it on the shutdown script only partially worked, it was doing a file scan like it wasn't properly closed. To my dismay, after the Wi-Fi ROM was transferred, the speaker was defective or something was knocked out during shipping. Unfortunately I will never know as I returned it. If you think I've done something wrong, I've done it twice using the eta prime videos on YouTube and looking through the videos I found online and still having the same issues. Now the build quality is good, nice thick plastic with batteries in it has a good weight but for me it was a dead horse and I didn't want to beat it. I used a back credit to get an rg350 system that doesn't give an honest review when I get it.

Pros
  • Gameboy inspired Raspberry Pi case
Cons
  • For old
