This review is from: NVIDIA Jetson TK1 Development Kit
Pros:
-Compact, fast, plenty of options and things to do with it. 2GB of ram and 16GB of storage is actually pretty darn good for onboard, very happy.
-Getting started is a breeze. This is a fully functional personal computer kit, in my opinion. The Raspberry Pi is too, but it is pretty slow. The Jetson TK1 devkit could make for a great small computer... and I cannot wait to see it in mobile.
-Installing the Linux desktop GUI is currently as simple as pretty much one command. Very nice.
-The options to play with this board are pretty much endless. It can be employed in a massively wide range of applications.
-CUDA!
Cons:
-Not much documentation and support as compared to most other boards like the Raspberry Pi or Arduino. This is due to its age. Not many people have it, so the problems you find might not have a quick google-able solution.
-Nvidia has done a great job putting out a lot of information on this board, but it is a board meant to be "toyed" and "experimented" with (hence the name devkit). The board is pretty valuable to me, and I am doing my best to not break it. My main interest with it is with the GPIO pins, and this can be potentially dangerous for the board pretty quick.
Overall Review:
It's impressive to see how fast technology accelerates.
More documentation and support will come with time.
