According to our single-board computer expert
Think of a device and build it yourself, with the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B motherboard. Connect a monitor, a mouse, and a keyboard, download the software, and install it via an SD card. The graphics chip and the Broadcom BCM2837 processor make the Pi 3 powerful enough to turn it into a credit card-sized media player, for example. Connect the model to your TV via an HDMI cable, and stream videos at high resolution. Connect a touchscreen to the board, and turn it into a smartphone, robot, or controller. Think of smart applications and execute them via IFTTT or connect sensors, and build your own weather station or smart thermostat. Or recreate existing designs.
Download the required software and put it on a microSD card.

Recently I saw that Nintendo released the Nes mini on the market. This big boy immediately had flashbacks about the past. I could already see myself jumping on turtles with a red thick mustachioed man and eating hallucinatory mushrooms to get that big. Unfortunately, this box turned out to be nowhere to be found. To make myself a little bit better I went to watch some YouTube videos about the Nes mini. One of them talked about the alternative: Retropie.
Retropie is an emulator program that you can put on a raspberry pi, with which you can not only play old Nes games but also Megadrive, Snes, Amiga, Atari, Gameboy etc. Much more than the 30 games that Nintendo pre-installed on the NES classic! In addition, you can use your own Xbox/Playstation controllers or grab some gamepad from the internet.
After I inventoried what I needed for my new toy (Raspberry, case, adapter, micro SD card, controller, keyboard, hdmi cable). I decided to order what I didn't already have at my favorite cold blue store.
After I had received 2 beautiful blue boxes at home, I couldn't believe my luck, and neither did that of the cat because it could be placed in one of the boxes right away. I looked up a nice video on YouTube about the installation of Retropie in which everything is explained about installing the connection.
I got a bit of nostalgic Lego feelings again, the Pi itself was put together after some simple clicks and after installing some software I have a mini arcade and media player at home working on the TV.
What do I recommend buying to have a complete experience? (all for sale at Coolblue!)

The Raspberry Pi is a hyper-small and very affordable computer. The standard Raspbian operating system (a Debian-based linux distribution, adapted to this gem) can be downloaded from raspberry.org and is ready to run in no time on a microSD card. You can connect a screen via the built-in HDMI port and your keyboard and mouse to 2 of the 4 USB ports. A few settings and... done! A free Office program, a browser, various programming environments, etc... and an online installation option (apt-get) for everything you can think of (say a kind of App-store). Excellent sound quality and Full HD video!

Easy to use and you can do a lot with it, such as watching all the latest movies and series, for example.
