“I've only just started to play with my new Pi but am amazed already by what comes built in and what it can do. I wasn't expecting an operating system with a full GUI for example. Looking forward to having some time to explore and play more.”
“Excellent small computer with a big punch. I have several of these doing various tasks - home automation, weather station, central heating control.
And it is a useable desktop computer.
Also PiHut give a good service.”
“I bought this board for its camera and other interfaces. viz sd/usb/hdmi. Also, for the 'out of the box' nature of it's get you up and running languages with great user interfaces. As it is fairly hungry on power, you will need to use high capacity Lithium cells on portable projects and the recommended adapter on mains apps. Having used many other boards, I find the freedom to choose operating systems a great way to learn new languages. Also, with it's price, it is a really good starter kit for young programmers of the future, who can practice their skills outside of the PC and Windows environments.”
