The biggest issue I have with the R-Pi* is power..... I need something with a proper power on/off button... not just ripping the USB out or switching off at the wall socket, it ruins the flash cards. I currently have a mixture of old ION based PC's, a WeTek which all can be bought very cheaply and I still rock an old Xbox as well which the kids use as its completely indestructable!
I get asked a lot about what hardware to buy and I dont really have a clear answer anymore... Pi isn't a cheap option really as by the time you've bought everything its not as cheap as a £30 board... the cheap Android boxes feel exactly that... cheap! the WeTek can feel sluggish... the ION PC is the best, but old now and the fans can be noisey..
I'm in the market for an upgrade now and have no idea what to buy.
