Raspberry PI 3 Model B Motherboard CPU 1.2 GHz Quad Core, 1 GB RAM, 802.11n Wireless LAN, Green/Silver

The new model (RPi 3) is much faster than its predecessors. Indeed, it’s 10x faster than RPi 1, and double the speed of RPi 2. Now with integrated WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1 which deliver flexibility in siting the Raspberry Pi, and make it more attractive as a set-top computer, a video server, game emulator, and infinitely more. This thing screams! The performance is amazing on this tiny thing! I am not commenting on the price by this seller. Yes it's over MSRP, but that's the price for getting it overnight vs standing in line and not getting one because it's sold out. This is just a review of the product itself. — The measurements are identical to the Raspberry Pi 2, which is great since all of your accessories will work perfectly. The RPi 3 includes the same 40-pin GPIO header which allows for extensions into the real world. Blinking lights, motors, talking robots, etc. Same CSI and DSI interfaces to enable camera and display modules. Same as RPi 2, it includes an HDMI out to view on a TV or computer monitor. But it can easily be set up as headless (no display). The 802.11a/g/n is provided by the BCM43438 chip, which also provides Bluetooth 4.1 capability. IMPORTANT! Keep in mind to get things running you’ll three things 1) a microSD card (8GB or larger; class 10) 2) a computer to flash the linux operating system into the microSD 3) a USB keyboard+mouse 4) 2amp micro USB power supply. Performance is killer on this thing. Booting is incredibly fast and I can’t wait to overclock this little desert. It runs at 1.2GHz (64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex A53). It boots faster, it runs faster, it responds faster. With the integrated WiFi + Bluetooth, you no longer need a USB hub for all your devices. A bluetooth keyboard/mouse will not take RPi 3’s precious USB ports. You’ll have them open for any peripheral you wish, hard drives, microphones, printers, etc. Good: Price Quality of build Easy of use (assuming you’re techie) WiFi + BLE support Much faster processing Price, again! The wishful thinking Wish the micro SD card was spring loaded Wish it had more on-board LEDs for debugging.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B 1.2 GHz Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53 Motherboard - Green Sold and dispatched by Amazon £32.95 If you are considering buying a Raspberry Pi for a project, buy this latest Raspbery Pi 3 instead of the old versions. The features include:  System on Chip (SoC) : Broadcom BCM2837  CPU: A 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARMv8  GPU: Broadcom Video Core IV  RAM: 1GB LPDDR2 (900 MHz)  Networking: 10/100 Ethernet, 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless  Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.1 Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy  Storage: micro-SD  GPIO: 40-pin header  Ports: HDMI, 3.5mm audio-video jack, 4×USB 2.0, Ethernet, Camera Serial Interface (CSI), Display Serial Interface (DSI) The key difference compared to the old versions is that the Pi 3 has on board Wi-Fi! No need for a wireless dongle to connect the Pi to the internet. Although you may not require Wi-Fi, it's best to invest in the Pi 3 because you may need it in the future. I have used the Wi-Fi and it's just like connecting a laptop to the internet- Find the network and connect and then enter the password. Simple and easy. Some reported that their Pi gets hot, even in idle mode (when it’s not doing anything). That is not the case for me- it’s just warm in idle. There are other things to consider such as a case and other components. SD card with an operating system such as Raspbian is a MUST (downloadable on official Pi website). This is not included so I recommend getting a SD card - minimum of 16gb, as approximately 4GB is taken up by the operating system. If your project requires you to save pics and vids, then probably 32gb would be idea. The Raspberry Pi will require a power source, which is NOT included. This can be either from the mains plug to micro-usb (e.g. Samsung S4 charger) or from a laptop/pc USB to micro-USB. I have used my smartphone charger to power up the Pi and it works perfectly. I have also used an external power bank and it works. I would definitely recommend using a mains plug to ensure that the Pi gets enough input, especially if your project is quite demanding. Other basic things will be required such as a mouse, keyboard and a monitor. And yes, it will work on a TV (if it supports HDMI). I have purchased a case (suitable for Pi 2) and I see that my Pi 3 fits in perfectly. Be aware though that some Pi 2 cases may not actually fit on Pi 3 (read reviews from buyers). It’s a great product and I was actually surprised how small it is when it was delivered. Secondly, I was quite worried that I received a second-hand product because the Raspberry Pi was wrapped in an anti-static packaging seemed like it was open (one end was cut off). I then found out that the wrapping is meant to be like that. It also came in an official/genuine box. I cannot stress the fact how important and helpful the online materials are. I personally wouldn't have a clue what to do. There are online tutorials such as ‘how to’ set a Raspberry Pi up for the first time, inspirations, setting up SD card, etc. This small beast can accomplish anything! Great product and I recommend it. Any questions regarding about this item, please leave a comment and I'll try to get back to you ASAP. I would really appreciate it if you marked this review as helpful or not so that I can improve my future reviews.

So small and compact

Werkt oke ben tevreeden😊

Escolhi a Raspberry como a placa para iniciação no ramo de eletrônica. Apesar de alguma complexidade, a ampla disponibilidade de tutorias e projetos exemplo (principalmente os disponibilizados no site oficial) com diferentes níveis de dificuldade, desde iniciante até avançado, fazem desta uma excelente opção tanto para iniciantes como para os que buscam algo a mais. Layout rígido e soldagens firmes. Apenas a conexão HDMI me pareceu um tanto frágil e requerendo um cuidado adicional na conexão e remoção de cabos a fim de evitar quebras de solda e mal-contatos. Recomendo

これは強力なシングルボードコンピュータです。 それはお金のための良い値です。私には全く苦情はありません。それは製造業者からの適切なパッケージに到着した。私は多くのユニットを購入しました。 それらのすべてが適切に動作しています。ヒートシンクをゲームに使用する場合は、追加することをおすすめします。

Este dispositivo se puede convertir en la plataforma ideal para enseñanza y desarrollo de productos y aplicaciones basados en tecnología de microcontroladores.... es prácticamente una computadora con la que niños y adultos pueden hacer proyectos de automatización y control de procesos y cosas, por ejemplo: un sistema de monitoreo de temperatura y humedad en un invernadero, o sistema de monitoreo de presencia o ausencia de gas butano en un área específica que permita activar o desactivar una alarma... en fin, los usos y aplicaciones son prácticamente infinitos.
