I asked my mum if I could have a raspberry pi 2, she said yes but wants 10 reasons why I want one. I was wondering if you could help me out. Thanks in advance!

Just give her one: It'll help me with my education. BOOM you're done. Your parents have to at least fund your passion, otherwise they're being total prunes. Unless you have the money yourself if so buy one it's cheap.

 10 reasons seems a bit outrageous. 

No it doesn't lol. The other option is paying for it himself

1. I can watch more porn while consuming less power, lowering energy bills.

2. It runs Windows 10, which can run Chrome. Incognito mode will allow none of this porn to be left behind in my history.

3. It's rather small, so I can bring my personal porn collection around with me to show friends and family.

4. It can also run Android. What does this mean? PornHub app!

5. I can decorate it to look like a porn actress or actor. No seriously mom, porn actresses and actors are respectable models in society!

6. I can plug it into my TV or monitor, which allows for porn watching on any form factor display!

7. I can plug a nice keyboard into it. That means I can find more pleasure in searching for my favorite videos without missing a beat!

8. It's discrete, so people will think the TV is doing it by itself while that porn is a byproduct of me, which is a byproduct of you!

9. It's green, not only in energy usage but also in color! Green is the color of money, money is what porn actresses and actors are paid!

10. Did I mention porn?

 

But yeah, you should be able to do this yourself.

Not to sound like a douche, but if you need permission from your mom, you perhaps need to rethink your purchase.

So many things I could write here... things like this.

1) Could use it to play video on your TV. - HTPC

2) Could use it to learn code.

3) Could use it for projects.

4) Learning code at young ages can lead to a very successful development courier.

5) They are small and cheap.

6) Learn how to use Linux.

7) Lower consumption than a regular PC.

8) Portable. If you're into caravanning, it would make a cool HTPC without taking up to much space and would be portable. You could bring it with you to a friend's house and work on a project with them, it would be compact enough for you to bring with you.

9) Creativity. You can be very creative with the Raspberry Pi, this is also a good point.

10) Projects you do with the Raspberry Pi could be mentioned in a College interview.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
