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.
It can't play X265 encoded movies, which are becoming increasingly common.
I found youtube 1080p videos too choking on full screen.
As a desktop it's OK for light and occasional work. You can use the libreoffice suite and browser.
(Eventually for media playback, i bought an Android box from a Chinese site and installed LibreElec 8.2)
