I collect single board computers and this is fantastic for what it is - a sensibly priced gateway to real computing. While phrases such as Desktop replacement are often used, it is a substitute for a machine for light web browsing and basic office applications but this is no speed machine - it is comfortably outperformed by my dual core take-everywhere Celeron netbook. The Raspberry Pis still have the broadest and strongest community support out of all single board computers. This alone makes it a superior purchase. For 40 pounds for the 2Gb version delivered, you really can't go wrong with this.

The Pi is a very worthwhile upgrade of the Pi3 B and B+ it runs PiHPSDR, an open source SDR transceiver application, much better than any previous Raspberry Pi! 2GB RAM is more than adequate for this application as previous Pis had only 1GB and another advantage is that it appears to run 4 to 5 Deg C. cooler than the Pi 3B+ running under the same conditions. I use a heatsink on the CPU and I would recommend this but it can be run without if it is well ventilated but my SDR is in a screened box. I liked it so much that I have ordered another one for a similar project but I found it more than £7 cheaper elsewhere so worth shopping around... Martin G3OQD.

Working as it should be, is not so hot as community describes them ( I'm using it as my audio center with hifiberry AMP2)

These are amazing little computers. I use a few as endpoints for a multi-room audio system, with awesome free software as the OS. A fraction of the cost of branded systems and (probably) just as good. I am sure there are other uses for them - which would make them even better.
