“great - has provided an education for me on how computers work and how coding works, combined with some practical examples of its use. More importantly, it has enabled me to take my 8 year old daughter on the journey too.”
“Up and running within 30 minutes, it's snappy, sturdy and is a great all round device, it's now sharing time between being a learning machine and a retro games console, very versatile”
“Over the past few years, I've bought several of these, both UK and US versions, and they make fantastic presents for kids. I've had one on my desk since they first came out, and it's been incredibly useful. I use it for web searches, watching YouTube videos, and most importantly, as a terminal to SSH and manage the myriad of other Raspberry Pi devices that run my life.”
“Very simple set up, worked out of the box. Only later discovered the chapter in the book on setting it up - would have helped is this was pointed out in the kit itself. We later bought a GPIO to breadboard extender - it would have been good if this had been included in the kit.”
