Pretty killer specs on paper. In my experience, these AliExpress boards have a bunch of minor annoyances that add up. Examples of those annoyances from my experience include:
So true. I'd complement the first point to include a general lack of documentation. Sometimes, we can't even know some pinout schema without trial and error.
I own a Chuwi Larkbox X (another N100 device) and I can't tell it to boot up after a power failure in the BIOS. So that is another thing to keep in mind.
