This is a Raspberry Pi - it is a single board computer that has an HDMI output to Display, with Bluetooth, WiFi, USB & Ethernet ports embedded.
The special thing about it is that it has GPIO pins for students to code basic input/output devices. Like a button to switch on an LED.

The latest Pi 4 has a 1.5GHz ARM CPU running on 2 - 8GB of RAM. It uses a linux OS called Raspbian OS.

Althought decent in processing speed, it cannot be used to replace a full fledge PC. It cannot run Windows softwares like the Microsoft Office.
*Students will NOT learn common PC*
at volume of 10k+, you can get a Pi 4 Model B 4GB for around RM200 and below.

A proper SBC for students should be a LattePanda Delta - at RM770 it runs Windows 10 64bit and comes with Arduino built-in
Has all the basic things that a primary school students need.

As a STEM teacher in primary schools, I do not want my students to use a Raspberry Pi, not as their main computer, and definitely not as the first Computer they use. It Limits their application.
Give them a Windows PC, please. And save the public some money.
