Here’s Why You Need Raspberry Pi

If you haven’t heard of Raspberry Pi, or the Raspberry Pi Foundation, then where have you been? This super cute, brilliant, mini piece of technology is absolutely amazing. Not only is it capable of taking care of everything your regular computer can do, but it does it quickly, and on a tiny scale! The first Raspberry Pi weighed no more than 45 grams, making it easily portable, even when it has the storage case and other connectors attached to it! Intrigued? We thought so. Here’s why you need Raspberry Pi…

Here’s why you need Raspberry Pi

No more need for any multi-device messing about

The Raspberry Pi is so small that you can take it anywhere with you. Of course you’ll have the additional requirements of your mouse, keyboard and screen, but really that’s it – and if those things are going to be at your destination, then you’re good to go right off the bat! Because the Pi is small, and portable, you can take it to work, back home, to school or college, and anywhere else you might need to take it. The connectors are easy to remove devices from, and you can even add in wireless connections for further ease of use.

Small size, simple operating system, easy to use!

Something that might put people off using Raspberry Pi is the lack of a Windows operating system. While we see this as a positive (and if you’ve got the patience you can absolutely load Windows onto it), we think the many variations of Linux are fantastic, simple to use and are a great alternative to Windows.

So affordable.

The Raspberry Pi devices cost around $50/£50, which is incredibly affordable when you consider what these little devices are capable of doing. If you’re on the market for a new computing device, and you’ve not made a firm decision about what you want, then definitely consider the Raspberry Pi. There’s so much you can do with it, and for such a low price – you’re on to a winner!

Fantastic company, doing great things for children’s education

The Raspberry Pi Foundation are providing Raspberry Pi devices to schoolchildren all across the UK. This is to aid their education and give them access to everything they need to help them learn better. Who wouldn’t want to support such an amazing company?
