  • A fully functional computer, with some tinkering required.
For $35 dollars, this little computer is incredible. My model did not come with an operating system out of the box (and they typically don't, unless you purchase a kit with an OS pre-installed on a MicroSD card), but installation of NOOBS and then Raspbian went very well. Make sure to format your MicroSD card BEFORE putting any installation files on it! The Raspberry Pi 3 b+ comes with four USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, an Ethernet port, audio out port, a RPi camera port, a MicroUSB port for power purposes (you power the Pi with a 2.5A or 3A 5v power supply and a microUSB cord, like what you'd use to charge an Android phone), and a GPIO pin board for all sorts of things. Each of these ports is quite rigid, especially the audio port, which I really got scared for when I was plugging in headphones for the first time to test my audio capability, but so far, the board has held up very well and all plugins have stayed in and remained stable throughout all operation and any maneuvering I had to make with the board. The GPIO pins are very sturdy and seem well built. The Wifi and Bluetooth that comes natively with the Raspberry Pi 3b+ works very well and seems reliable. My model is the 1 GB RAM version, and so far, the single GB of RAM has done a great job of juggling different programs, and I've had no major issues with bottlenecking while running programs like Chromium (Raspbian's native lightweight Chrome-based web browser), a few terminals, htop ( a resource monitoring utility that sits in a terminal window), and a Python IDE for programming purposes. As a test, the first night I received this product, I fired up some updates while running two Youtube videos (at 360p, which is what Chromium's codec allows for on the Raspberry Pi 3 b+, alongside htop, a python IDE, and a couple of terminal windows, and fired up a temperature monitor I programmed to check for temps. The Pi was sitting around 50 degrees Celsius in a room that was about 25 degrees Celsius, which I thought was pretty good considering I had no heatsinks or fans installed on it, and it was just sitting on my desk. So, it can handle stuff pretty well without turning into an oven so far. At this point, I definitely highly recommend this product. I can think of no device that can be purchased for this amount of money that has the sheer amount of utility, potential, and geek-factor. Nothing even comes close. The Raspberry Pi and variations of it have infinite usability, and they are the PERFECT gift for an aspiring programmer, kid tinkerer, novice engineer, or for anyone wanting to take a dive into the world of Linux-based operating systems and programming. The Raspberry Pi can do it all, and I'm incredibly impressed. ... show more

  • Good Pi
Great little Pi. Made a video synth out of it. Planning to get another to make a synthesizer out of it.

  • Differences with 3B. Won’t fit old case...
This is an amazing ARM based computer. Given that I have a few 3B models, just want to focus on some obvious differences with this 3B plus model. The first is that it doesn’t quite fit in the 3B case. It has 4 extra power over Ethernet pins. You could make a hole If needed. The two holes in case for the optional heat sinks do not exactly match the chip positions. This doesn’t seem to be as big an issue as the heat now radiates all over the board and out the metal Ethernet / USB connectors. Haven’t needed heatsinks yet. The other gotcha is that you will need the latest NOOB software on the memory card, if you want to boot up. Not an issue but worth noting. Overall it runs well and uses the same software as previous versions. Doesn’t get hung up or overloaded as easily when you push it hard. It also has 5G in addition to the 2G WiFi. A very good choice if you are still wondering. Using it on SunFounder robotic car, I upgraded car software to Python 3 myself and implemented openCV AI vision to recognize and follow us around. It is not maxing out the new 3B plus CPU cycles as it was the 3B. However, I am planning to impliment multi threading and multi processing to use more cores to process the real-time video a little faster. I haven’t intentionally ‘real world’ tested how power hungry it is when I unleash projects for an extended time on lithium batteries. It doesn’t appear over hungry for power. We could probably look that up in the specs. So far I haven’t noticed any difference with normal usage. This is a noticeable improvement over the 3B model ;-) ... show more

  • Awesome purchase
**UPDATE: 07/12/2019 Ok so the ARM version will be reflected based on the Operating System you’re running. For example: if you’re running Raspbian, it will show v7, but if you install something different that was meant for v8 (aarch64) like Ubuntu Mate (aarch64), it will show v8. To find out the version, open a terminal and type this: cat /proc/cpuinfo Then hit enter. It will spell out the CPU for you or give the CPU architecture number 7 or 8. With 8, you can run 64-bit. Cheers! **UPDATE: 10/1/2018 Works great but it comes with ARMv7 not 8. Beware - false advertising** ——————————————————— Firstly, make sure you have a micro as card with the OS of your choice installed. I have one sd card with the NOOBS installer for the Raspbian OS (Raspberry’s de facto operating system). All I had to do was download NOOBS files, format the sd card to FAT32, and copy the NOOBS files onto the card, and plug it into Raspberry Pi motherboard. When I turned it on, the motherboard picked up on the system files and walks you through the install, and there’s various OS’s you can pick from. I also have another sd with RetroPie (video game emulation OS). RetroPie needs to be imaged onto the sd card before being plugged into the Raspberry Pi. I bought a housing unit with a fan for this thing that also comes with heat sinks (a must-buy if you ask me). If you are new to Unix-like OS’s, learn a few Terminal commands to learn how to do just a few things on here like running things as an administrator, navigating files, creating folders, etc. This product is a great buy. If anyone has any questions about this, feel free to comment. ... show more

  • Current best raspi model
It's a Raspberry Pi. It has wireless AC. It has more memory than previous versions. I use it with a DAC to play music stored on a small NAS. It's the center of a bedroom sound system. It works very well. I've used most of the audio software out there, Volumio, Rune, and Moode. I'm currently using Moode. Any of the three work well. It's a cheap and good solution to streaming audio if you have an amplifier and speakers. Wireless AC is a bonus. ... show more
