Unfortunately, a China-product caught ... Stay away!

Like so many here me a Raspberry Pi made in China was sent today, unfortunately. The packaging of RS Components Although UK stood model, but on the PCB was the inscription to find "Made in China". The numerous bad reviews on Amazon were familiar to me. Nevertheless, I wanted to try my luck.

So same time the Raspbian Installer packed on a commercially available SD card, power happens to ... nothing. Only the PWR lamp is lit up, nothing else. To eliminate sources, I have my old Raspi connected (Made in UK) and he promptly booted. Then I carried out the installation of the operating system to enter the China model is still a chance. After everything was finished, I put again the SD card with the now fully installed OS in the China model ... and it booted at least once. Then on the console, I immediately wanted to install a few standard programs ... and there was the next disappointment. The resource address could not be resolved. So everything again purely in the UK model and the download or installation of programs ran without problems. My guess is the fact that in addition to the LAN port must be broken, as well as the ping of websites was not working with the China model. So I'm going to send it back again immediately.

-> Conclusion: I recommend to all people here stay away from this product on Amazon to leave. Saves you the hassle and buy it in stores like Conrad where you can verify on the spot that it really is UK goods.
