Speed Machine

setup was pretty simple although you will need an HDMI to VGA ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2015

Size Name: RASPBERRY PIVerified Purchase

Bought this thinking it was plug and play but then found I had to buy a memory card for an extra tenner! Being new to memory cards and linux I decided to buy the version with Raspbian OS preinstalled. This done, setup was pretty simple although you will need an HDMI to VGA converter if the TV or monitor has VGA because without it the picture is not right. With it, the picture is pixel perfect and requires no messing around in the config.txt file (a good thing) You will also, of course, require a mobile phone or tablet charger. But the real killer for me was, once I'd got used to what on earth Linux is, the damn thing stopped working! So I would say, if you must have one of these things, buy the latest model with the faster processor and get a case for it so all that messing around doesn't break the damn thing! Also, the best text editor for linux is gedit.

Saved my sanity

Size Name: RASPBERRY PIVerified Purchase

Here's the story.
I've moved to UK and have nothing else to be connected to the internet then my non-smart Nokia 210. After a month I got a job and after another bought RPi, because it's affordable and everyone has a TV. I needed some cheap keyboard, memory card and cables. The only problem with everyday net-surfig was inabillity of playing flash. That means no online videos, some websites were redirecting me to their phone version. But anyway, I wouldn't need any kind of laptop for 10x more money and much more than I could afford to spend that time.
For everyone I can recomend Awesome. Awesome is tiling window manager. And is truly awesome. It's something like graphical enviroment, like LXDE, which uses Raspbian. LXDE is labeled as light-weigh and it is. On normal pc. On RPi feels very heavy. With awesome is work nice and smooth again. Tiled windows are question of habit. I like it and now I have laptop with gnome and I'm tiling all the windows anyway.
Most of smartphones are at least three times as expensive and with two times better hardware but with RPi you can do uncountable more things. Speaking frankly, you can do everything!

Simply Amazing!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2014

Size Name: RASPBERRY PIVerified Purchase

I'm a student. I'm currently studying Network Technology & Software Development.

This is the kit I've been looking for! It combines some electronics with some programming and networking, and the results are outstanding.

Possibilities are endless!

First of all, this is not for a person who lacks in basic computing skills. This is more for the person who wants to make a computer do things, program it, and have some fun.

I use mine for multiple things. Firstly, I've installed Apache and I am currently running a web server on my Pi. I have then port forwarded the ports so that my web pages can be accessed from anywhere! (I've linked mine to a domain)
Next, I've installed Motion, connected in a USB web cam, and boom! I'm streaming live video which can be accessed from anywhere also (thanks to port forwarding)

Next, is the electronics end. The GPIO pins are really cool. You can use basic jumper wires to a bread board and program your components there. Or, you can dig deeper and buy some ad-ons. It's cool to wire up a little LED circuit, write a little sequence script and run it (by programming it in Python). Really fun for any computer nerd.

If you are planning on buying one, ask yourself 'What do I want it for?". This is not a computer for your web browsing or email. This is for the nerd, who wants to mess around!

I love mine, and I am definitely going to buy a second one in the coming months!

If you are buying one, make sure to do your research, and buy a chunk of patience! Make sure you research SSH, and FTP as you will generally end up running your Pi headless (i.e Not using a monitor, but accessing the command link over the network)

Feel free to ask me questions.

It really is the new BBC micro

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2014

Size Name: RASPBERRY PIVerified Purchase

This was intended as a 21 century replacement for the venerable BBC micro and it does the job admirably. I had a BBC B back in the 80s and had a huge effect on my life. This really is a love it or ignore it device. If you have the interest and aptitude then it is a ideal gadget but not then it is a waste of space. If you want a cheap PC then this is entirely wrong, it will never replace a desktop PC. A Pi is a tool for exploring programming and doing it yourself and anyone who has the aptitude for this whatever the age will do well with it. As a present for children (I got into programming at about 12) then I suggest go for it, it is cheap enough to be disposable if the child does not take to it but for those that do it will be the best present every bought - this could lead to a great future. For adults you already know, if you are reading this review then just buy one - there is nothing to loose. Not everyone has the aptitude for programming but everyone should be given the chance and this is the ideal way to find out.

Great bit of kit

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2014

Verified Purchase

Lots of things to use one for, but I have it as NAS & basic DLNA server with a 3Tb USB drive, lots of advice out there on setting it up, I am not a skilled Linux user, had only dabbled a bit with Ubuntu before but it was easy enough - OK it's a bit slow, but cheap and adequate for my purposes and once the mass of main files were backed up using USB the network is then quick enough to do the smaller updates keeping my data and also media files backed up and available to TVs and PC on my network, it is silent with low power use and certainly better than the useless Buffalo NAS drive I had before!

Can also boot it into OpenElec (or RaspBMC) and that works so well it also spurred me into putting a version on a PC (available for most OS's) as the choice of add-ons available are amazing :-)

Una maravilla

Reviewed in Spain on 13 April 2014

Size Name: RASPBERRY PIVerified Purchase

No voy a decir nada nuevo que no se haya dicho ya. Este aparatito es una maravilla, un microordenador todoterreno con el que podrás hacer más de lo que te imaginas. En mi caso lo compré para hacerme un pequeño HTPC y estoy encantado. Le he instalado Xbian (una pequeña distro con XBMC) y va muy bien. Reproduce perfectamente mkv a 1080p que para mi es lo más importante ya que es el uso principal para el que la compré. Por cierto, con cualquier TV moderna puedes controlar la Raspberry a través del mando a distancia de la propia TV. Esto es gracias al protocolo CEC integrado en el cable HDMI (http://www.xatakahome.com/mandos-y-aplicaciones-a-distancia/hdmi-cec-que-significa). Eso sí, cada fabricante le da un nombre distinto para referirse a este protocolo, debajo pongo un pequeño listado con los respectivos nombres. Si en tu aparato aparece ese nombre en sus características podrás manejar el Raspberry desde el mismo mando.

Aquos Link (Sharp)
BRAVIA Link y BRAVIA Sync (Sony)
HDMI-CEC (Hitachi)
