Teaching programming concepts
Teaching hardware interfacing
Raspberry Pi being very cost effective can be deployed in large numbers in underdeveloped and developing countries like Africa, India, China, Brazil etc. to schools and colleges and to everyone who is interested in computers and electronics
It can be used as a media center at home. Any television can be converted to a smart TV with internet capabilities with the Pi.
The Raspberry Pi is perfect for adaptive technology: it is able to display images or play videos at 1080p high definition resolution
The product is energy efficient and provides a greener ethical alternative to small businesses
This small credit card sized product makes it easy to recycle and does not release as much carbon dioxide emissions into the environment
You are not required to purchase any special licenses from the Raspberry Pi Foundation to use their product
A credit card sized PC
Cheap (ish) ~£25 each
It does not replace your computer
the Ethernet is only a 10/100 and the processor is not as fast
unable to do any complex multitasking
Not compatible with other operating systems such as Windows
This product will not be useful for bigger businesses that already have big servers
The future scope is powering the Raspberry Pi using a battery. For now, the Raspberry Pi needs to be connected to the power supply via the USB power port
It is a great solution against the large desktop computers, Raspberry pi perform all tasks that a desktop system runs. With the low price and small size it is easy for the buyers to cache.
Raspberry Pi is an innovative product. The sheer number of users and fan base support the fact that the device can see a great future ahead. The device can surely help anyone who really wants to lean electronics and computers.
Increasing the processing power can surely help the product in the future. Also supplying a case and a proper instruction manual will improve the product. Also currently Windows operating systems are not compatible because of the ARM processor. If the processor is improved or any workaround is found to run Windows directly on the Raspberry Pi, then it can be a great step for the Pi.
Finally it can be said that Raspberry Pi can be effectively used if its processing power is kept in mind. It can work as a personal computer but cannot replace it.
