mainly coding and other fun stuff, but there's a lot of distros for it with emulation, multimedia server, etc.
with wifi and bluetooth it'll make a lot of projects a bit more interesting

The only thing I dislike from the Pi is the ARM processor. Programs compatible with x86 aren't compatible with ARM.

Other than that, it's a good microcomputer.

One of the IT's brought this in while i was working with them, we played minecraft on it for like 2 hours while we were waiting for malwarebytes to scan a computer.  It was great fun!!
