This is still the only circuit board PC to own.

This kit is perfect if you want to start playing with a Raspberry PI. It's easy to setup and it runs fine. The keyboard might feels weird but that's just my opinion. Use your own keyboard for comfort.

- Performance; no defect and easy setup

Overview: I purchased this with the intent to build a RetroPie Arcade setup. I was pleased to see that it can do so much more than that, but stuck to my arcade idea. This device is so versatile and I now have an arcade box which can play games from almost every platform from the beginning of...

It's a great small pcb with all the power of a small laptop/ pc. If you are caliper with Linux great, and even if not very easy to configure and use from Raspberry site.

Because we weren't able to run our standard suite of benchmark tests on the Pi 3, we had to settle for simpler cross-platform tests that we could use to get a general idea of performance.

Requires lots of additional hardware to function as a full PC; Limited operating system selection; Software setup may prove challenging

Manufacturers of full-scale PCs have trouble coming up with exciting new features across each generation of their releases; there are only so many ways you can spin minor improvements. The same would also seem to be true of the Raspberry Pi, if not truer: It's never looked like much more than a light-featured PCB with a couple of familiar ports tacked on. But for the newest iteration of the product, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, the usual modest bump in performance is accompanied by a particularly impressive new feature: Wi-Fi. Now that you no longer need to be tethered to an Ethernet cable, there are even fewer limits on where your imagination can take you. And as the Pi 3 retains the $35 purchase price that's defined the line since day one, it's now an even better option for the makers, enthusiasts, or educational types who could benefit from this sort of system, and, as such, earns our Editors' Choice. Design and FeaturesLike its predecessors, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B ($44.73 ...

The introduction of wireless connectivity and a boost in performance over its previous iteration make the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B appropriate for a wider variety of projects—and it still costs just $35.

It is definitely worth the money. Computers have come a long way in the past 50 years.

Previously I agreed with reviewer Darryl that a microSD card was not included; but closer inspection in better light shows me that what I thought was NOOBS on an SD card was in fact a matt black 16GB microSD card inserted into an SD adapter that is the exact same matt black color.

The mini wireless keyboard seems more trouble than it is worth; most users will want a full size keyboard. But the mini keyboard is usable for minor tasks, and is easy to store out of the way

On Friday my Raspberry Pi 3 arrived for benchmarking. For our first benchmarks of this Cortex-A53 64-bit ARM $35 development board is a comparison against eight other ARMv7 and ARMv8 development boards running their official Linux distributions while carrying out a range of benchmarks.

There are several key things that have helped make the Raspberry Pi such a success. They include its feature set (like the GPIO pins), its ease of access, and its price. And it seems that this last point is a core value for the Raspberry Pi foundation.

The Raspberry Pi 2 was a revelation, but the Pi 3 is more of an incremental improvement. However, the speed boost certainly makes a difference, and the built-in Wi-Fi will make the Raspberry Pi more useful for various projects.
