5 Mar 2020

I have been recently selected for a roadtest on element14.com the Raspberry Pi 3 in a box. This is the official Raspberry pi kit which includes tons of goodies but I need information from you first! I am following my guidelines that I setup for this roadtest this is why I was selected so please feel free to follow along and join in this will be my first interactive roadtest and I think the first of its kind on the element14 community roadtests.

Make sure to post your questions today! Thanks eh!

How's it holding up as your desktop?
Which apps do you keep open?
Do you find yourself closing apps to make room for new tasks (due memory constraints, CPU constraints) ?

Did you find a way to run from faster drives (like an SSD over an SD Card?) This makes my RPi4 work a lot faster.

Do you think the projects in the book combined with the provided hardware encourage the reader to explore the underlying concepts further on their own in order to adapt, customise, improve the project or are they like many resources and appear to be more of 'a means to an end' aimed more at reproducing a set of steps in order to complete the project before quickly moving onto the next one ?

Do you think this bundle is suitable as an educational gift for:
- the younger generation ?
- the older generation ?
What groups of people do you think it is primarily aimed at ?

After completing the book, are there any pointers as to where the reader should go to continue their journey with the Pi ? Do these pointers point to operational sites or as often the case, frustrating broken links ?
