Review on πŸ”₯ SmartFly Info Rock Pi 4B RK3399 SBC Kit with 1GB LPDDR4, Dualband WLAN/Bluetooth 5.0 (2.4/5GHz) by Suhas Carney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Powerful; Development board required

The board is certainly powerful, but cooling can be an issue - the CPU faces down and the included heatsink just doesn't cut it under load, making it a little cumbersome for typical cases. Many Linux distributions were also not loaded correctly on the manufacturer's website when they were purchased. This is definitely a development board that needs some extra "tweaking" to be popular.

Pros
  • Class-leading performance - ROCK Pi features a modern and powerful six-core ARM-based RK3399 Soc processor. All models are equipped with 3200Mbps LPDDR4 RAM and optional high-performance eMMC modules.
Cons
  • Something else
