🍓 High-performance Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Desktop with Quad Core CPU, 1GB RAM and Linux OS Review

I really like this product. As a geek, I look forward to using this to automate my home to the point where the heating pad turns on when the cat lays in the cat bed. In terms of functionality, this is basically a Linux computer and I won't go into detail here. Once loaded, it worked well with all the devices I've connected to it so far (wireless mouse and keyboard, monitor directly over HDMI, connecting a VGA monitor through an HDMI-to-VGA adapter (you can use a passive adapter to from a…

I use mine to host a MySQL database and it works great! They are much better than the first versions. If you loved your original Raspberry you'll love this version even more, it's a worthwhile upgrade. Update: A different version is now used for DNS and HTTP caching, which makes browsing the house faster :)

I bought a pair of these and it's time for a review! My first Pi was given to a friend who wanted to learn programming. I bought a Pi, a case and a pre-installed NOOBS micro SD card. Note that this device does not come with the NOOBS operating system. So do yourself a favor and buy either a preloaded card or an 8GB micro SD card. Do it yourself! The second device I bought was for making a smart mirror and it works great for that purpose. I run Chromium on it and it gives me weather, traffic and

Great product, I used it to assemble a slot machine with an empty case and was a little skeptical about its price and how it worked. Once I found the monitor and all the cables I needed, I was happy to know that after firing up my arcade system software with the Rasperry Pi 2 and playing for hours, my concerns were quickly resolved. With multiple heatsinks this helped. I got rid of a lot of overheating concerns, and since the temps were so low (by changing the tick after playing), I felt…

I bought this Pi and it's so cool. I downloaded the Raspbian software NOOBS which allowed me to use this single board as a full computer. For this price you will never find anything like it again! A must for all techies. I used a 32 gigabit SD card and went to google to find some easy to use software. I really liked that Noobs was easy to use and the launcher looked really cool every time I turned it on. To build a fully functional computer, all you need is a Pi, an SD card, a power cable, a…

This is the Apple II of the 21st century. But it's so cheap, it's not just for lovers! It can use almost any language, even Fortran and Pascal if you like it. It's cheap enough to be used in countless special operations. At least it can become a cheap media center. We are currently using the Pi to access the internet, view and update the webpage of chess games in our chess tournaments with a projector. Cons: The platform is still under development and is not a finished product. It will do…

For my purposes the Pi-2 is an exponential improvement over the B+. I've been using the Pi for thin clients, video servers and the like for a number of years. I don't do robotics or anything like that, so I can't talk about it. The Pi-2 can now work very well as a thin client and smoothly play YouTube videos and video files with omxplayer. Chrome doesn't work properly, but Iceweasel (Mostly Firefox) does. Epiphany browser is installed but Iceweasel browser works better for me. I've also used…

Pros: Almost too many to mention. where to start It works great with Minecraft Pi Edition. I don't know how to make a pickaxe. Super cheap and cute. Four 900MHz cores and 1GB of RAM! Leaves the old Pi in the dust. With 4 USB ports, you're unlikely to need a separate powered USB hub. Make sure your power supply is greater than 2A and enable 1.2A USB output current on the Pi with max_usb_current = 1 in /boot/config.txt to power USB hard drives and other more demanding devices be able. Note that…

***Update*** I said I would do it and I did. ;-) I have 2 more Pis since I wrote this review. I now have one on every TV. I use them all. They all work great and make cutting your cable TV cord bearable. :-) ********************************************** ** ***** ******** ************************************ * Dude, I LOVE this case! love love love! I was looking for a media player capable of both streaming from the internet and playing videos (avi, mkv, mp4) from a flash drive. This bargain…
