I have now brought me one and wanted to use it as a media system. Since I do not always my PC
(Which is also sometimes just eats 700 watts) must turn on to watch movies.
I thought it best to get me a Rasparry since a long time. Unfortunately, always came in between what.
But now I finally am a and more than thrilled.
The Pi 2 is not only a good complement to stream and listen to music, no with whom I will also mean
Manage entire apartment. But the turn is coming later. First of all I mean to watch movies and listen to music.
Studying a little the XBMC and then go to the next level of technology. Little by little I'm going to
Get it modules. Finally, I want to buy me something technical that can be expanded almost without limit.
To the product:
The PI 2 is really as small as a 5 cigarette and it fit without problems into the case.
It's very easy, is completely silent operation and is slightly warm. Have the XBMC me
instaliert and after a reboot, lasted (for sound) of almost 10 sec. (which as fast as my PC) I'm
really impressed how fast the PI 2. Respect to the inventor.
The SD card is very fast. No wonder is indeed a class 10 card. It amazes me that someone said,
the fight very sensitive, I can not confirm. It is made of plastic, although also CHINA,
but I did not really care. It is important for me that it works.
WLAN stick, I will not need, because I have no wireless.
The HDMI cable do I need actually (yet) not
The heatsink maybe I should but still on it that I will make larger
take, because the PI 2 is then even better chilled.
Conclusion:
Each of a media box, or use it as a testing technology will, I would recommend it to anyone.
For this price it's perfect. From me there is unfortunately only 5 stars because I unfortunately can not give 10.
