3 Model B Quad Core CPU 1.2 GHz 1 GB RAM Motherboard

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.

This is my first Raspberry Pi. Very impressed so far. You can buy a bundle with everything you need but I found it was cheaper to buy everything separate - even going for a bigger SD card can save you money compared to buying a bundle. I am using this as a media center and a quick web server for testing, a few things to note: - very easy to set up and get going. Good guides on the Raspberry Pi website to help you. - OSMC is a great front end and makes it a very capable media player. Attaching an external hard drive is simple and OSMC displays your media in a brilliant, clean and easy to use front-end. - Can control it via the TV remote! (This may only work for certain make/models of TV but on my Samsung it is fine). - Very easy to wipe and start again if you do anything wrong. A quick format of the card, put the NOOBS software back on and start again. - OSMC comes with various scripts to automatically set up sharing (so you can access your SD card or external drive via your windows or mac PC via Windows Explorer/Mac Finder - this is a very simple process) - setting up Apache to run your own little webserver and testing stuff out just requires a few commands to be typed in but is reasonably straight forward and quick to do. Things that didn't quite go right: - I had several FAT errors when booting up the first couple of times. Turned out this is a common-ish issue with SD Card readers built into computers - when I used an external card reader to format and set up the SD card everything worked fine. - There are loads of tutorials/guides on-line which can be really helpful but as there are different versions of the Raspberry Pi and different versions of the software you can put on (as well as different versions of Linux they are all based on) you can read conflicting and confusing advice and not everything I followed worked first time. Like anything if you are patient, prepared to try a few things, and remember to back up any important files before making any changes you'll get there in the end! I'd recommend one of these! (Am already thinking about how I could use another...)

Excellent model v3 and far more superior and faster to run LibreElec on for Kodi install. With its Wifi capability it makes it a great piece of hardware for running various applications. I run mine tethered for more stability, but have used the wifi flawlessly in the past. It comes with a plenty of USB sockets (4) and HDMI input for TV. Would recommend for those who are new to Kodi and are wanting to build a mini media hub that packs a punch. I also run RaspConfig to slow this device to be over locked and it performs just as well (I don't always recommend this of course unless you know what you are doing). I watch many hours of media on this thing and have purchased 3 in total for every tv in the house. Used to use Amazon FStick but this has more speed and performance and can be actually 'shut down' fully, unlike the fire stick. Good buy! Lots of possibility! Easy to program from boot up via a click and go menu (no need to be an expert!) (Noobs install was on SD card I got sent)

This is the 5th Raspberry Pi B 3 that i am purchasing (yes, after 5 days of waiting for it to be despatched, i have not received it yet). Altogether, it is an amazing board with many possibilities and many optional extras that will add to its capabilities. there is a common problem with almost all of them though, I will bet you that once you receive your board, you will find that either one or more of the USB socket(s) or the Bluetooth chip, or the wifi chip doesn't work and after sending it back 2 or 3 times, you will learn to compromise. I think the best compromise is to keep the one with a faulty USB socket and try to remedy the problem by buying a hub. dont let this stop you from buying one though because you will (if bought from Amazon) eventually receive it. The main beef is not with the board but with Amazon's dirty tactics. they want people to join their Prime program and for many people it is probably a good program saving them a lot of money during the course of their membership but i do not buy frequently enough to take up a Prime for a free next day delivery and as such, this is the 5th day since i ordered some stuff (all available) and am still waiting for them to be despatched. I remember and miss the days when buying from Amazon didn't come with a built in frustration period but hey, someone in Amazon believes that a quick jump in their profits will outweigh losing customers.

AWESOME! This is my second RPi 3, and my 3rd Pi in total. Got this one for a portable PC project along with an LCD screen and it works brilliantly. Now, onto the review of the Pi: If you're looking to learn to program then this is great! If you're looking to help kids learn to program it's also awesome. You just can't break it that bad. It takes almost no time at all to install the OS again. This is much better for newbs than any other fruit Pi based board. The reason for this is the community. So many people to talk to and to ask. The default OS, Raspian, is a fork of Debian. That's the most stable Linux distro, but you can also get others. It comes with a nice desktop and some awesome default programs. Both versions of Python, with Pygame and some example games to learn with. It also comes with Java apps but I don't know Java and couldn't be bothered to work them out, but they're both University of Kent stuff so I trust it's good. In short, if you want to learn to program then this is an amazing tool! Use it well and learn to program. It was my first PC and now I'm an app developer! Go far. Also, this board won't lose it's power later on. It's not going to be obselete later on in your programming life. It might go out during the middle, especially for games or iOS apps but later when you want to do low level things it becomes perfect again for its ease of use and the fact you don't have to worry about it ever again.

I've previously owned the Pi 1, Pi 2 and now the Pi3. Each time I have installed OpenELEC on the Pi and each time I have noticed a significant improvement in performance. With the Pi 3 I have set up a dual boot with OpenELEC and RetroPie, and the onboard bluetooth works fantastically with my PS3 controllers. I would recommend this over an android box if you were looking to run OpenELEC or RetroPie, especially if you like to customize your setup. If you want to learn a programming language these are also ideal. You don't even need a monitor or keyboard as you can SSH in to the Pi from your home computer and have the terminal/GUI right there. One thing I would note is if you are planning on doing anything intensive on this then make sure you have a 5v 2.5a power supply. The Pi will run on your phone charger however you will get crashes if you try anything too intensive. I bought the official pi 3 power supply from amazon and I'm very pleased I did.

I bought this Raspberry Pi mainly to use it for home automation as I saw in lots of Youtube Tutorial Videos, but also to see what it could do further than the Arduino. It came within 4 days in a small box, along with a quick start guide, explaining how to quickly install a GUI, and a safety guide. The raspberry pi itself was in a relatively stiff paper bag, probably to protect the I/O pins and the connections from being bent during transport. This model of the Raspberry Pi includes on-board Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but if you plan on using the Wi-Fi functionality a lot I would use the Ethernet connection is the Wi-Fi is sometimes a bit flaky, fixed with a reboot of the system. The Raspberry Pi is easy to use, from any age above 9 - if you are not confident with coding you can install a Graphical User Interface or if you are confident you can use the terminal itself. There are many resources and instructions online if you need any help. The only problem I have is that whenever I boot it up there is a small, yellow lightning bolt in the top right corner, symbolizing that the power from the Micro-USB connection is too low. I have tried multiple USB power supplies and cables, as well as using a powered USB hub for the peripherals, but it remains there. Despite this, the functionality is the same, and it still works perfectly. I would certainly recommend this to anyone interested in computers or programming, because it provides a great start with all the things that this small device can do. This device is well worth it’s price (£31.99), and I would buy one again if I had another project to work on. When buying this, remember to make sure you have a micro USB power supply (a mobile one should work fine) and a micro SD card with a minimum capacity of 8gb, although preferably 16gb, because the Raspberry Pi needs those to function. Make sure you also have some sort of computer with you with an internet connection to download all the setup files needed.

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.
