There's also this.

Best looking laptop kit for the RPi I've seen. And when the Pi 3 ships it should have built in wifi making this a really neat little portable.

Sorry for the top posting, I'm on my phone :/

The rasberry pi has the following advantages:
very small
very light
very inexpensive
very very powerful for a small package.

However, it is bare bones and it not always easy to find help if you run into troubles. It come complete with almost nothing.   Beginners are likely to stay far from it.

The rasberry pi is often used by people with a lot technical ability for specialized uses like industrial controllers.    They often used for a variety uses like CNC routers, etc.

Most Laptops, by comparison, are huge, expensive and probably power consuming.   However, unless you are working with someone with lots of skill and patience and desire to learn, stay with the laptop.

The rasbverry pi is a tasty treat for techno geeks.
