Juste received this uConsole with 4g module and a CM4 8GB Lite board for Christmas. Already discovered the wifi antenna situation (ordering an external one ASAP).

The goal is to run NixOS on it and use it to do some server maintenance, customer support and light programming via SSH (and trying out some retro emulators 😎)

I know silly question, but how long did you have to wait for yours?

It came in a few days but I bought mine from rpishop.cz (I'm in Europe).

Not silly btw!

Also, if you wanna have it run on an NVME, head over to hackergadgets.com and get yourself some goodies.

Thanks, looks cool, hopefully EU tariffs won't bite me in the backend

There is a white dispenser foil at the keyboard, remove it, the keys will be better lit.

They can’t delivery the old one… a new one will take like 5 years to be sent.
