Elecrow CrowPi L: The Best Raspberry Pi Laptop Yet (But Is It Enough?)

While it may be the best Raspberry Pi laptop we've seen yet, you'd get a better device by installing Linux on a second-hand laptop off eBay. By separating the electronics learning kit from the laptop, it's lost some of the magic that the CrowPi 2 had. Still, if you want an electronic learning kit based on the Raspberry Pi, and must have it in a laptop format, this is your best option today.

Funny that you mentioned the 70-in-1 electronics kits. I was thinking we've sure come a long way from our Lincoln Logs and Erector sets, haven't we? This product just seems like a waste of money that could go towards steampunking/Frankensteining one yourself. Even use components you already own, as you stated. Semms to me, Cow Pi(e) would have been a better fit. Great review, as always. I saw your temps -- please don't melt 🌞⛄💧

Lol. Seems so obvious, eh.

So this won't work with the new Pi 5 since the footprint changed. :(

The fact that you need a $120 device to flash a led with a python script is both hilarious and sad.

[@Tomalyo]

This is hideous.

Tad harsh.
