I am more worried about them in the long-term. Reviews are usually not as detailed as I'd like them to be (shout out to ServeTheHome – they're doing a great job in terms of that), or they're nearly impossible to find.

For me personally, there are two things I am concerned about:

1. Issues that can only be resolved via BIOS update. Almost all obscure Chinese SBCs won't get any updates, so you're stuck with whatever issues you encounter.

2. In case of hardware failures, there's a 0% chance for RMA. You are not getting a replacement or your money back.
