oh great, IT SUPPOSE TO BE USE FOR KIDS TO LEARN COMPUTER!!!!

I blame html5 for distraction for kids!!!!

hmm, Windows 8 on RPi, i doubt about it. even if we can get Windows 8 boot past locked bootloaders, dont know if the minimum requirement to function properly can be met(assuming not very different with x86 system requirement). I've used on using win XP & win 7 under the min requirement. of course you can use them, but the result isnt very good.

but if somebody can tweak the Windows 8 to run on RPi, i would like to see it. and i dont really know how RPi boot coz still dont have the thing

hahaha then i guess it will take decades 2 make PI run able with crysis 1 at ULTRA in 1080p lorh

Windows 8 may be overkill for the poor thing provided microsoft scales down the requirements for ARM devices , but bear in mind ARM devices are getting powerful. You have quad core ARM processors now

Take note that CPU is not the only one that determine the overall performance , the other stuff like BUS speed , RAM , HDD will affect too

Update, as we all expected, E14 emailed my colleague that his shipment will be delayed as there is no stock in the warehouse (First batch of manufacturing just popped out from the factory of course no stock lah! ).
He was told that the earliest he will get is end of july.

He then went and cancelled his order.

I guess i will save $$ for a headphone and tablet first before this Raspberry pi and its respective peripheral(monitor etc)

SnowFish - July?! that is 4 months from now!

Yeap, chances are you might need a VM to run it. However, i think u can run windows 8 embedded on it.

Yeap . Oh well, I guess I'll wait too. First batch got no case, but subsequent batches should have.

dang.. have to wait till July for it.

but from the official site, it had mentioned that second batch can be dispatched by April and will be the 1 unit per person limitation will be relaxed.

further more i had ordered as well, however i didn't receive any shipment delay notice for E14.

I will wait you guys to try it out first before buying LOL , and in case they come out a better model

aish it is just < RM150. worth than the price even there is a better model.

BEcause i accidentally saw a product mention raspberry pi B plus mode , i click into the link it shows but still no info about it , only the name and the website format , but later on they remove it liao , so i sense something

i'll wait for the batch which comes with case...no need to worry about random static

Anyone got it please post the picture along with the packaging, maybe can re-use the packaging cardboard or whatever that's as the casing... hehe xD" (cheap slake style)
