    I like Pis, but there's so many cheaper alternatives in used thin clients nowadays, that they only really make sense for me if I have a project that needs the gpio header.

        Exactly. I've been using chrome boxes, myself. And while the 19 volt power adapters aren't as convenient as usb, these newer Pis require so much amperage that the difference is negligible if I can't just plug it into any randomly available USB anyway.

            Yeah, if you're gonna buy one, you might as well get the kit that comes with the power adapter. so tack another $30 or so onto the price.
