Review on πŸ“± SunFounder RasPad 3.0 - A Raspberry Pi 4B Tablet with 10.1" Touchscreen, Built-in Battery, and Onboard Audio for IoT, Programming, Gaming, and 3D Printing by Donald Vargas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

buggy auto-rotation, no popup keyboard, constant freezing, general inoperability

This device is incredibly disappointing, not entirely sure how it got 4.5 stars. It is hardly usable as a tablet. To operate the keyboard, you have to click on the keyboard icon, which is in no way comparable to a modern touchscreen keyboard. When the tablet is lying horizontally, it still rotates the screen to portrait mode. The way it rotates is that the screen flashes for a second and then rotates. I don't know if the accelerometer was off or what, but I just took it out. I have a raspberry pi running a server and every morning when I go to check it it freezes and I have to restart. Enter the WiFi SSID/Password and it just won't connect. I checked the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file and for some reason it marks wifi with WPA security by default. Not sure if this or what is the problem but the other day I sat for hours trying to connect and just before I was about to leave I decided to connect for no reason. Finally, the user interface just looks childish. I tried changing the background, it doesn't work. I've tried changing the color of the top bar and that doesn't work either! This product doesn't look production ready at all. I hope Revane will let me bring him back.
