Good learning tool
Bought this for a university project. The form factor is compact, and the USB-C port makes charging easy. Only wish it came with a protective case.

Great hardware, documentation could be better
Hardware quality is top-notch as expected from Waveshare. Setting up the display driver took some digging through forums, but once running, it works flawlessly.

Excellent value for money
Having 16MB flash and 8MB PSRAM on a board with a built-in high-res touch screen at this price point is unbeatable. Highly recommended for prototyping.

Solid build quality
The PCB layout is clean, and the components feel durable. The microphone sensitivity is good enough for basic voice commands without external modules.
