Critics' Consensus

“The Pimoroni PicoSystem is a well-built, compact handheld console ideal for developers learning to code in C++ or MicroPython. While it lacks shoulder buttons and has a steep learning curve for C++, its premium construction and clear screen make it a rewarding platform for creating custom games.”
