Hello my name is Devin, just thought would share with you all my amazement at how far the Raspberry Pi has come. As soon as I received the Raspberry Pi 3 in the mail I wanted it to replace my laptop as my main device and I'm pleased to say after a week its still booted up with Ubuntu Mate 15.10 as I am writing this post on it while writing a RetroPie sdcard with it and transferring files to a Raspberry Pi 2 all while downloading a torrent file. I am pleased to say I love it. I believe some people that say it cant replace your desktop PC are too focused on what the Pi cant do and looking past all the amazing things it can do.
What are your plans with your Raspberry Pi 3 I would love to hear about the project you all have come up with.

Re: Look how far the Pi has come!
A raspberry Pi can work as a main desktop PC, I've been using them since Pi2B and it has been just fine.
Those that suggest that it can't plainly didn't use any kind of computer for desktop work before 2003.
