Pros & Cons
Pros
Logitech media server (lms) and/or player. Works well with plex (server), and i can stream videos from my raspberry pi to a computer on my local network just fine. The website has great support and the software works without a hitch.
Raspberry pi4 has 4 usb ports, two are usb 3. Paired with a silverstone pi02 fanless enclosure and a sabrent usb hard disk enclosure. Now they have an 8gb unit for more programs and projects!
Can now emulate more games, do more maker projects and such. Even that glitch in sheep raider for the ps1, hahaha. If you're an old school gamer, this is what you need to run the arcade games and mame.
Cons
The device has suffered from esd(electrostatic discharge) of someone managed to corrupt the eeprom which is an incredibly rare one-off. To check, remove the sd card, disconnect the device from power, then reconnect it.
This isn't for beginners really.
The rpi 4's cpu get's bogged down during scp file transfers to a pc. Only unencrypted ftp will run at around 73 mb/sp bishop. Wouldn't boot with a fresh load of the latest opsys.
Highlights

Seamless wireless connectivity simplifies networking, and bluetooth support opens up possibilities for various peripherals and devices.

Price
Happy we can get them at a semi reasonable cost again.
Well worth it, even at today's crazy prices.
You will get what you paid for.
The main issue with this listing is the ridiculous price.
Shipping
The item was well packaged and arrived quickly.
I've bought two from this seller over the last year and both arrived quickly and work great!
And it should be shipped with at least its own power supply.
Packaging/appearance
The driver smashed the envelope and mushed the little box inside that the pi was in.
My only beef with the whole transaction was that it came in a padded envelope.
Well this went right inside the miniature nintendo box i also purchased, with ease.
Competitiveness
But they are reliable and work better than any previous rpi model.
It is a rpi, not some other weird name device.
