“I'm starting out in the Pi world and was advised by friends to purchase this model. I'm mainly using this for RetroPie and have no complaints. Perfect bit of kit to consolidate all my older generation consoles in one.”
“Does exactly what it says. Loaded the Raspberry Pi OS no problem. Loaded Ubuntu (to a different SD card!) no problem. Upgraded to Xubuntu (XFCE desktop) no problem. Using Lexar 633x 32Gb micro SD cards - excellent performance at a very cheap price (as noted by youtube channel Explaining Computers). This really all you need n a home computer (unless you have demanding needs). A USB SSD would be a bit faster but would it really be that noticeable for emails and browsing? This boots as fast as my physically vastly larger desktop machine with 8Gb ram, AMD FX-8300 Eight-Core Processor running Linux Mint . . . I think that the writing is on the wall and I'm looking forward to getting my desk back.”
