“First fouray into the Pi world and I must say I'm very impressed with it so far. Very easy to set up and currently using as a media server with Raspbmc on it working perfectly.”
“I'm not even sure where to begin, this has been one of the best buys I have made in a long time. I originally purchased it for my 6 year old brother as an educational tool and before I knew it I was bribing him with my xbox so I had more time to tinker with it! This computer is suitable for any age, and with any amount of experience. You can make simple games with it, browse the internet or use it to emulate old games consoles. Other people have used it to make robots, automatic microwaves (that scan the barcode and know the length of time to cook something), a car error reader, the only limit is your imagination!
I was surprised how small it is, about the size of a credit card but it can do so many things. I've had it about a week or two and I have already overclocked it, installed heatsinks and a minifan, made it run playstation one games, connected an xbox/ps2 controller, learnt how to use the CLI etc. I have learnt more from this computer in the short time I've had it than all the time I have spent on my desktop pc. 10/10 I'm considering buying another!”
“Well, I haven't used it. I bought it and it's intended for a 13 year old boy as a present. Let's see what happens when he gets his grubby hands on it. That said, I own two models B's with 256MB RAM and they are useful little machines for all kinds of projects. One is a OpenVPN hub for me.”
