I bought this to try turning a Volumio (https://volumio.org/) Raspberry Pi into a small touchscreen music player that I could tuck away somewhere useful.
Functionally, it serves the purpose: it's a perfectly usable 10.1" screen that's vivid enough for my purposes. Getting that up and running is an exercise for the reader; this isn't really the place to describe what you'd need to do to get a computer talking to the screen. I haven't gotten the touch interface up and running yet, but I'm not expecting any problems there.
A lot of the technical documentation for these displays is on the manufacturer's wiki: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/
Aesthetically, this device and it's brethren leave a lot to be desired. It's all laser-cut plastic with fairly cheap mounting and attaching hardware (the bolt heads are front-visible), and while they've thoughtfully added a mount on the back for a variety of device footprints, all of the cabling projects visibly from the left-hand side, meaning you're going to have some rather stiff cables flopping around visibly wherever you put this. Replacing the HDMI and USB cables with right-angle variants would mostly address the problem; even if they arranged the plugs straight out the back, at least you could use cable-ties to wrap everything up neatly out of sight.
So, great for prototyping! Functionally, everything you need is here, and it Just Works. Not so great for a device you'd put in your kitchen or on your nightstand. Go in with the right expectations, and it should serve you well.
