Portable Monitor with Keyboard, 14 Inch Laptop Monitor Extender Built-in 5000mAh Battery, 1080P FHD Screen CrowView Note Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, Phone, Steam Deck, SBCs/Mini PC/PC

This is an awesome product. Don't let the negative reviews get you down. The onboard quality (screen, speakers, keyboard and mouse) is equivalent in to say a $119 ASUS or HP laptop. Get yourself familiar with the USB ports and what they do. You'll likely want to get yourself a HDMI to Mini HDMI converter/cable because that doesn't come with the product.I have connected the following devices with ease: Raspberry Pi, Legion GO, GPD Micro PC, Atari VCS. Worked in Windows 11, and Linux plug and play.

This is the CrowView Note device. I bought this to use with Raspberry Pi 5. The package includes the Pi 5 Bridge Board. An optional Jetson Nano Dev Kit Bridge Board is separately available. For the most part, everything works as intended, LCD, keyboard, trackpad. The quality of these are basic.The device advertises itself as supporting 5V/5A PD Power Delivery protocol. It does not, or it does and the device I received is defective. The include PSU (pic attached) should support up to 36w output. However, the power draw with the Pi 5 attached and running is no more than 15w. At idle, power is around 10w and on load it is around 15w. Load was done using a stress terminal command on the Pi. I keep getting a low voltage warning. My attached pic of Pi 5 setup shows an attached NVME board, but it's unplugged for my testing.Keep in mind the device needing power also. With nothing attached, I measured power draw around 4w just having the LCD on and internal battery at 100% charge. So at best, an attached Pi 5 may receive 5w to 10w.For the power issue, I'm subtracting 2.5 starsLast, the device needs a physical Fn lock led and trackpad lock led. The Fn lock briefly shows an on display notification, but that's it. Otherwise, it becomes a guessing game if Fn lock is active or not. Subtracting 0.5 star for this.So 2 stars for an almost there device. I'm debating to return it or trying an exchange to see if one I have is defective.

I don't want to be too harsh on this thing, I don't hate it, and a couple of things about it are actually really cool. It comes with a PCB shaped to the ports on one side so you can plug a raspberry pi directly into it and power the Pi while interacting with it as a laptop. VERY cool. But I experienced quite a few negatives on the product too. When laptop manufacturers can make light, tactile, well-designed chassis with CPU's, motherboards, RAM, all sorts of stuff on them, and get them down to like $500 in price, I expect a better chassis here, even at ~$150, when none of those expenditures exist. This thing feels WOEFULLY cheap to the touch. I want to discount the screen from that evaluation, because that is passable. It's 1080p 60 as advertised, it won't blow your socks off, but it's TOTALLY fine. The rest is the problem. Awful keyboard, garbage trackpad, flimsy plastic creaky body. It's bleak.I also encountered an oddity. I was installing Bazzite (an immutable Linux distro akin to SteamOS) onto an Ayaneo handheld, and I was hooked up to this for the install. During the installation process, the keys were mapped improperly rendering the keyboard worthless. Most of the upper row of letter keys were mapped to numbers, couldn't type in passwords, etc. I know this problem isn't universal, because the keys worked properly on raspberry pi, but I also know that this doesn't have universal Linux or device compatibility. How many use cases will this little gremlin rear its head? Just the once for now, but maybe more to come who knows.So definitely not a perfect product, but despite all that, I'd rather have the keyboard and the trackpad than not have them, like some 14" portable monitors that come in at a similar price. I respect the package they've attempted to put together here. But it needs work/

The existing Vine reviews are somewhat critical. While I can see why and debated over how to review this, myself, ultimately I decided on five stars because despite its flaws, it delivers exactly what it promises, and the CrowView Note is - through all of my exhaustive searching - the only device of its kind.What it delivers is a way for you to connect a microcontroller (e. g. Raspberry Pi) or cell phone, and use the screen and Human Interface Devices (e. g. Keyboard and trackpad), and ports of a laptop. To that, the screen, keyboard, and trackpad all at least function. They're. Not going to win any awards, but considering the budget price tag and that this is a niche device, along with - again - there are no competing prpducts of its kind that I could find, it tracks (if you'll excuse the pun).Some other things the CrowView Note promises are power via a DC connector and a mini-HDMI port for video. The advertised microcontroller adapters are included, though you'll need to furnish your own HDMI/DP/USB-C to mini-HDMI cable if you want to use the screen for another device like a gaming console or personal computer.

The trackpad here causes issues with my madbook. a lot of stuttering. The film on the trackpad was almost impossible to remove and didn't change the issue.The screen is bright enough and the colors look good, but it says 100% srgb which is important to me as Im a photog videographer and do editing. Im not sure if the 100%srgb claim is untrue, or if's the screen build that makes it seem wrong. you know those office computers meant to only input data. no gloss or shine, and not great visibility at any angles, thats this screen.The ports are odd. power on one side only through a dc adapter so you cant use a standard usb cable to charge the device, and the hookups for hdmi and usb c are on one side, so if you need to plug in, you'll need a long cord. Its ok as an extended monitor with a good size, but really shuld have a better screeh , better charging options, and ports on opposite sude to plug in
