[ILUG-BOM] Purchasing a RaspberryPi in Mumbai

Hi,

I will be visiting Mumbai soon and am interested in picking up a couple of
Raspberry Pi devices. Preferably the Rpi Zero or the new RPi 3 Model A.

Does anyone have good suggestions on where I can get these? Could I pick them
up at Lamington Road? If so, any suggestions for the specific shop? On the
other hand, I'm willing to purchase them online as well, if the shipping can be
done in a reasonable time (~1 week).

You are better off just ordering them online. Online stores now offer
one-day and two-day deliveries, It doesn't really make sense going out
in the heat, hunting around for a SBC.

I have pi, pi3 and pi B+512M.
I don have any image or media for pi.
Both Pi3 and Pi B+512M have a distro.

Anyone wanting to try out their stuff is welcome to Airoli.
Alternately we can try them out at the next lug meet. Other can bring
their small computer boards, aduinos, IOT blings, custom boards and we
can have a ball.

I have a assortment of Rpi2, Rpi3 and Orange PiPC devices. Can carry them
across to the next lug. Also, have been working on a tuned fedora 29 image
for the Rpi3 that runs visibly faster than the default raspbian image in
terms of performance. If you want to try out the image for your own pi
devices, feel free to bring across your sd cards, and I'll be happy to burn
the image onto them for you at the meet...

Apart from programming, can the pi be used as a desktop computer on a home
TV or a monitor with HDMI?

Yes, you can.

My pi which is loaded with LibreELEC 8.2 connected to 40" Home TV for
a Smart TV experience.

Occasionally I use it as a normal computer desktop using NOOBS.

RPI3 chokes on anything above 1024 x 768. Frame skips and annoying
lags are common.
IceWM works ok as a desktop as long as too many tabs are not opened in
libreoffice or firefox.
