Good price for this kind of board, allot of interfaces.

No enclosure, no shipping info, 5v-5a input meaning it was designed to be used with a bench psu, no heatsink it may drop dead in a closed enclosure, Conclusion: Not for the consumer market.

p.s. Quality isn't the first thing the comes to my mind when seeing the words Designed in India.

I don't think you need a bench power supply. This is designed for embedded computing. Something like this $15 one should work fine.

As for a heatsink that's easily added if you need one. But they run the same processor in cell phones and tablets just fine without big heatsinks.
