Review: Amazing for everything from a video/file server to a router, or game emulator. Perfect and great price! - 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.
Review: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B 1.2 GHz Quad-Core - GREAT - Raspberry Pi 3 Model B 1.2 GHz Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53 Motherboard - Green Sold and dispatched by desertcart £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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the country of origin of this motherboard?**
A: Almost all of the Raspberry Pis are made in the UK now in the Sony factory in Wales.

**Q: is the usb ntsc and does it do 4k**
A: The USB is 2.0.  I think you are referring to the HDMI video port which is HDMI 2.0.  Using the 4K is possible but the frame rate is terrible.

**Q: Looking to upgrade my rspi 1 which is just used for kodi on open elec will this new pi 3 be any better or should i plump for an amazon tv box**
A: Yes the raspberry pi 3 will be noticably quicker.The power supply needs to be at least 2.5 amps for the pi 3.There are some better alternatives to the pi, but more exspensive.

**Q: What compatible micro sd card is best at 16gb size??**
A: I'm currently using a 32gb Kingston sd card which works fine. I'm sure a 16gb one would work just as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant value, works perfectly
*by J***H on 3 April 2017*

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.
