Good option
This is a good option over the pi4 it works great and unlike the pi this comes with the screen and kipper already on it

Junk
Update (because this useless garbage really irritates me): I had a RB Pi 3B lying around, flashed it and installed kiauh. Within 15 minutes I had a rock solid klipper system running - without having to wire up power cabling, constant network disconnects, reboots and an chipset with unsupported OS. Add a screen you can get for 15 buck on AMZN and it even beats the price!-----Good luck getting it to connect. Had to buy another Wifi adapter, but even so it constantly disconnects and frustrates the heck out of me. There's also no support, no updates, no nothing for this chipset - unless you want to start writing Linux drivers instead of print 3D. Better to revert back to stock on my Ender 3v2 neo than suffering this stuff any longer.

Wish it would come with power cord.
I purchased the full kit with the monster 8 board. Every option that was available I bought thinking this will be a complete set. Did they include the power cord to supply 12/24volts nope. So now I have to purchase that and lose another couple days. You can not even power this over usb. The only cord they include are the ribbon cable going to the screens and the usb cable that will not power it on.

The EMMC was DOA
The first impression was not so good, as the EMMC arrived dead. It cant be read nor in Linux nor in Windows.I did flash an SD card using the system image provided by MKS, connected the TS35, and connected a power supply (note: You need a 12 V - 24V power supply. The system will not get power from an USB3). After that the system seems to be running. The TS35, is not good. The touch does not work correctly. The left side of the screen seems unresponsive to the touch.To summarize: The MKS PI V1.1 seems to be working (can connect to fluidd and do ssh to the system). The TS35 shows image, but the touch is unresponsive in the left side of the screen. The EMMC arrived dead.I will update after more tests.

Troublesome. Poor wifi compatibility
Even the included wifi module which has the chip which they specifically recommend is poor. The software available is spotty at best, they don't offer real support, they share a link to a system image and wish you luck. I would buy something different if I knew about these troubles beforehand.It could be a good device but it's stunted by the mks team. Many of their products have these types of issues. They clone stuff on the market without actually putting in the effort to develop their own software. So naturally, when something breaks they are as clueless as the consumer.

Dead on arrival
Canโt even give it an honest review or rating as this one was dead on arrival. Immediate return and just went and purchased a raspberry pi 4 instead

Edit: got it to work with homeassistant
Get a BTT pi, this one is an absolute piece of junk. you cant run a timelapse for more than 24 hours, if you try to save the frames, it will crash. look for a fork in the github for a custom image that has been slimmed down. perfect for using this board for anything else
