Reply to: Using a Raspberry Pi as All-in-one pc?

[balton9]

I looked at this a few months ago for similar reason and came away with it being an uneconomical choice because of the base Pi that you get needs to be expanded to be useful. It's not worth it. Get a micro pc, Lenovo or something.

Yeah but I saw some numpty got themselves banned for circumventing the swear filter. Duhhh I mean.. Who'd do that? Asterisks are as about as brave as I dare get nowadays.

Eh up, Johnny Big Bo***cks is in.

My nephew uses a Pi4 4GB running Raspbian for schoolwork and browsing and seems to be happy with it. It's connected to a 1080p screen so it's not having to work too hard and also runs Minecraft at a decent framerate.

Just without the asterisks :-)

This is my laptop. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My laptop is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My laptop, without me, is useless. Without my laptop, I am useless.

My daughter uses a Raspberry Pi in a robot car. She uses it for a couple of other things via virtual desktop, but not for schoolwork.

I think he's going for the full metal jacket look.

Don't compound that view by having her seen using an ancient doorstop for a laptop.

Good point, I'll order a nano wifi adapter from amazon.

Maybe I should get her 2 Apple pro display monitors as well.

Yes.

Stop your WiFi adapter from "going to sleep" before you buy anything?

Locate your WLAN Adapter. Note: There is no one name for the WiFi card, so you will have to go through the list and look for something with "wireless," "802.11," or "WiFi" in the name. Click "Power Management" tab in the properties window. Uncheck the box of "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

This should go some way to resolving the issue of the WiFi disconnection problem.
