**What do you like best about balenaFin?**

the onboard emmc is great and solves the issue from the original IO board by raspberrypi where SD card doesnt bypass emmc.
the coprocessor can handle any task where one would need Arduino or an esp dev board.
and the IO is just great , PCIe for any addons and dual camara connections and the USB header are a huge plus .

**What do you dislike about balenaFin?**

nothing I can think of , have been using the board for almost 5 months , no issues that couldnt be resolved with a little bit of tinkering

**What problems is balenaFin solving and how is that benefiting you?**

due to the hardware shortages we were looking for a replacement alternative for the Original IO board, after using balencafin , it had now become our Go to IO board for CM3 modules.
