ok if you set it up

Well, for what it is, it only seems remotely perfect. My doubts stem from either my stupidity or the difficulty of setting it up. I've tried several times to use NOOBS to setup my raspberry pi on the Elecrow screen but keep getting a white screen. It wasn't until I saw someone answer one of the questions that I knew what to do, how to do it, and it all worked. The manual on the CD was not nearly as simple and concise as his answer. With that in mind, the fact that the images came on a CD rather than a flash drive annoyed me because I had to look for another device to do the whole setup (I don't have a CD drive on my desktop) . , because I don't think I'll need it). And my main gripe is that I realized how incredibly difficult it is to use a touchscreen and should have invested in a real monitor and dedicated mouse for my Raspberry Pi. If you are sure you need a touchscreen before you buy one, go for it. If not, I would suggest buying a monitor and ditching the touchscreen.
