## Description

Product description

Review: no touch screens here, but good little machine. - Using several of these to drive 3d printers , works great. I didn't rate touch screens because I don't own any.
Review: Can't easily load os - You have to plug it into a laptop that will recognize it and flash your os to the eMMc of the unit. Not easily done especially compared to using some of the other micro computers available. I couldn't get it to boot properly and threw it in the trash after an evening of trying.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ no touch screens here, but good little machine.
*by A***R on November 11, 2023*

Using several of these to drive 3d printers , works great. I didn't rate touch screens because I don't own any.

### ⭐ Can't easily load os
*by E***K on March 14, 2023*

You have to plug it into a laptop that will recognize it and flash your os to the eMMc of the unit. Not easily done especially compared to using some of the other micro computers available. I couldn't get it to boot properly and threw it in the trash after an evening of trying.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Solid device that runs Raspbian, documentation is garbage
*by M***. on October 16, 2022*

With the ongoing shortage of Raspbery Pi devices I decided to try out this Banana Pi. The EMMC storage is a nice feature, but no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is unfortunate. Working with the device is made difficult by the poorly organized wiki, and lacking detail on steps to make the device work. Don’t get me started on how you “erase” the EMMC by unplugging the device in the middle of flashing it. Also there’s a push button you have to hold down when booting if you want to work with the EMMC, which I only found by accident. The device came preloaded with android loaded on the EMMC, and getting android removed without knowing the boot trick was maddening. This could be a solid device if the devs spent time building documentation that got a user up and running quickly. Spending days on end to find basic information is not how you build a community of users.
