Over 20 years ago I was playing around with Basic Stamps to do a simple environmental survey. I've recently gotten back into physics computing for work and after looking at the Pasberry Pi I decided to use this kit. I am not disappointed and am writing this review on my Pi TV. I thought I was getting a decent I/O device, not a full Linux system with HDMI support, WiFi, USB ports and I/O! My first computer was a Zeos 286 with a 60MB hard drive. About the size of a pack of cigarettes, this little computer is quiet and could very well be from another world, that's how advanced it is compared to the old 286! It was extremely easy to build (at least for me), worked great on first boot, got me through system upgrades, and saved me from having to download more software packages. I LOVE that it's packed with Python and Java packages, and because it also has Libre Office installed, it does pretty much everything I do on my desktop. I wouldn't try the multitasking on the Pi that I do on my desktop, but for a good, ultra-compact, quiet, low-power computer for everyday tasks, this is incredible, and at an incredible price. If you are confused with Linux and Physical Computing. or looking for a basic computer to play with your TV, how can you go wrong for $80? Oh the tens of thousands I wasted on the PC. If only Pi had been there all along!
