I needed this for a "MirrorPi" project. With a touch-screen display, 512 GB memory card and a few cables it's now the heart of the project, and also serves as an in-home web server and e-book distribution point. I can also use it as a music center with the addition of a USB audio adapter and external speakers.

I use this to be a network controller, and atmospheric monitor. It does the job well on all fronts. I do wish the chip architecture was such to allow unmodified operating systems, but the Debian based Linux system is good enough for most things and has wide enough compatibility that it’s rare to find something I can’t do with it.

Awesome product for setting up multiple home projects. 4gb ram compared to the previous models definitely opens up more possibilities. Make sure to use a good case with passive cooling or active cooling
