Not bad considering the price and Intel CPU, but... power... really?
For the price and features, this board is great, no doubt about it - Intel Atom CPU on a SBC for $35, yes please! But I just can't get over the fact that they put everything and the kitchen sink on this little thing, except for a tiny 2.5mm power jack... Really? Here's the reason I'm giving this such a low review: On the product images, for power options you have a picture of a power supply (5V 2.5A 2.5mm Switching Adapter), sure, there are images of a berakout board but nothing that states that it is required to get a standard 2.5mm power adapter plugged in... Think of an RPI, I could power it via USB or power it via a breakout board right? So a normal person wouldn't think, seeing the image, that you need a breakout board, just the adapter. Wrong. Then, they don't sell their own breakout board on Amazon... so how do you purchase it? Now I'll have to tinker around wiring the power on this thing when I thought it was included. Then, documentation is poor at best. They should just create a Github repo and store their documentation there to make it searchable at least.
