I did this Pi 4 Roadtest a few years back: /products/roadtest/rv/roadtest_reviews/685/roadtest_the_raspber I can’t remember now but would guess it took at least 24 hours.

For that road test? A Lot. I'd say 80 hours at least. Most likely more. Not all of that time was efficiently used. Sometimes it was just fiddling around and see how things behaved. For the test gizmo…

Ok, I'm the clown that voted more than 40 hrs. Know why ? Documentation is 50% or more of a road test. There is linux stuff to play with, python, pi hats, etc. I'd want to build a donkey car with it…

There is linux stuff to play with, python, pi hats, etc. I'd want to build a donkey car with it :-) There are tons of application programs to play with, music, ML, audio, video, IOT, so many project books with examples to try,

What cant you play with ?

I did too. Just installing the software and settings would take a while.

I suppose it depends on the road test though - someone testing it with an beginner Arduino tutorial might be quicker, where someone building a sensor for a satellite might need just a touch more time

Software and settings are quite a bit easier nowadays. Agree someone road testing with some beginner projects would take alot less time, especially if mom and dad are helping with questions.
