Not Suitable for Serious Computing

The product did not meet my expectations in terms of power and performance .It was too slow for basic tasks and struggled with multiple tabs open. however, the design and build quality were good..

Pros
  • Good design, build quality
Cons
  • Slow and inadequate for computers.

Not ready for prime time with Pico

This article still has room to encode with Pico - the display itself is great, the power consumption is high . The cons are that you have to do a lot of digging to maintain the code as it doesn't show up when saved as main.py and the main con is that it doesn't just show a horizontal (lengthwise) portrait orientation - although in an image they used for sale it is displayed in landscape orientation. The response time of the support is also missing.

Pros
  • No backlight, shows the latest content for a long time even when the device is off
Cons
  • sad packaging
