After pressing the power button to turn the unit on, I was pleasantly surprised by a few things:

Power LEDs

Four power LEDs on the front of the Raspad show you how full your battery is. I’m not sure why they’re flashing, though. I don’t think they’re supposed to do that. But then again, this is a pre-production unit.

No setup required

The Raspad boots immediately into Raspbian, meaning the SD card is already formatted and configured with some software you’ll want to use. No configuration needed! You can access the on-screen keyboard by navigating to Pi Icon > Accessories > Keyboard .

External USB screen cable

Another thing that surprised me was that the touchscreen screen didn’t work. That is, until I realized you have to move the screen’s USB cable from its holder and into the Pi. The pre-production unit we received had no instructions, so this wasn’t as obvious as you might think. Anyways, from here on out it’s plug-and-play. I love when things just work.
