Some friends kids have been pestering their parents for the Rasp Pi and they were asking me about it, but afraid I have never really looked at it much as I always felt it a bit of a con paying a low price for a board then having to add on a case , psus, keyboard ,mouse, monitor/tv etc etc, basically dulpicating what nearly every household /school already has, the pc/laptop .
So my question is, cannot they simply use a standard windows PC or a dual boot Linux PC and run everything a Pi can do ?
