Pros & Cons
Pros
The possibilities are endless! There are specific linux distros that are for media center purposes, emulators, and iot usage. The online support for the rpi is practically endless.
Cons
I troubleshot this extensively, but everything i did would not make it boot. It keeps popping out, which risks corrupting the sd card. Buy a new 3b instead.
Rasp pi 2 is a nice portable size and a cool concept and all, but for me, that was hoping to use pi 2 to run my kodi media center thru, nothing but headaches. Windows 10 os will only have it's own addtl problems and kinks to work out! Disappointed wit... Read More
Highlights
Quality
This device fully meets my requirements it well built and easy to use
Robotics and computer programming as expected very technical and challenging and a great way to energize young people
Its slow has only 1 gig of ram has a proprietary gpu slow io lacks sata gigabit ethernet and usb3
Still stuck with usb2 and worse still combining the usb and network channels

Packaging/appearance
It arrived in packaging that kept it safe and it worked as expected
It came nicely packaged no sign of damage when received
Device arrived in original packaging from the vendor in great condition
Item received as appears and was in good condition
Competitiveness
Risc os and the bsds are a lot easier to get working on the pi 2
Well worth the money in fact it has payed itself off as it uses so much less power than a traditional server
While other boards are faster and better for some application the size of the rpi community alone makes the rpi more valuable for me
Only reason for this versus a pi3 is the power consumption
