Detailed review
The Raspberry Pi is a great device for its price and size. It is a complete computer with the size of an index card. It runs Linux perfectly and is surprisingly responsive for its small processor. You can program it using Python and a series of other languages and you can also use GUI-based languages like MIT Scratch. Overall, a must have for hackers and beginners alike.
