Two-hundred bucks is basically "impulse purchase" territory, but I'm nevertheless struggling to see the use case here.

If you're into maker projects with Raspberry Pis, then I'm not sure what this does for you. It's a Pi already built into a consumer device. Not seemingly a platform for new maker projects.

If you want a tablet with a Linux kernel buried in there somewhere, then there's probably a thousand Android options with better specs at the price point.

Just kinda seems like a tablet with with limited apps and terrible battery life, being marketed to Pi fans who think having "Pi" in its name will make it a good conversation piece.
