Raspberry Pi mania

Bought the Model 3 Raspberry Pi to supplement my older Model A+ Pi. Fantastic little computer, much faster than the previous models, and great value for money. If you haven't got one, and you like nerdy computer things, get the latest model, or even a trimmed-down Raspberry Pi Zero. Set up is very easy, even if you need to create a new micro-SD card with the Raspbian OS on it. I used the BerryBoot option to install the new Raspian Jessie OS, as well as OpenElec, so I could install Kodi and use the Pi as a home media centre. Works great, fast streaming depends on your broadband speed though. So get into Linux and start to enjoy computer programming again....Read full review

Brilliant although its quite specific.

Clever bits of kit at an unbeatable price. I use Octoprint for 3d printers and not having to break the bank I am able to have one PI for each printer. Very well made and thought out although it really does need an on/off button. Most importantly though this item is British made although many foreign copies are available which visible dont share the same care and detail in the manufacturing. My purchase included an SD card which unfortunately was faulty. However the price of my PI was lower than what it costs normally so not an issue. This PI has been running now for almost a month non stop (with a small case fan) and has performed faultlessly.Read full review

Ideal for my SeeDeClip4 music server rig.

Not as fast as an Intel i7 but it gets the job done, runs a full Debian Linux OS and can be used as a backup machine, for R&D and for music and video serving.

It's also tiny, powered off a tiny USB socket and behaves like a large Linux PC of only a few years ago, but has no noise and no heat, just a slight warmth here and there.

Well supported online too, this is a great product: you can learn software engineering on this.

Essential

This is a swiss army knife of usefulness as well as being educational and fun. If you just want to ditch expensive, unreliable, bloated proprietary systems, it can give you a lightweight introduction to some of the alternatives.

The pi is simple to get started with, as there are loads of step by step guides on the net, but it is also a perfectly capable machine that can handle all sorts of tasks - it can act as a media or web server, smart CCTV, robot brains, iot hub, multimedia set-top box, or just a desktop computer. It isn't quite the thing for mining cryptocurrencies or cgi rendering, but it can do a lot of things.

Great machine for its small price.

You can build a great arcade system with this pi. Snes controllers are of a good quality and everything you need is there from the get go.

Raspberry Pi Model 3

What's to say? It's a Raspberry Pi Model 3, with Noobs on a micro SD card. Plug it in, and it does what you'd expect. Not very quickly, but again, that's what you'd expect.

One of the best raspberry pi models to buy

You should easily be able to find sd images on the internet that supports the raspberry pi 3. It works with a decent usb power supply from a tablet or phone. It has built in WiFi and Bluetooth and can also be overclocked.Read full review

Awesome Mini Computer

Bought this to build a Kodi server for watching streaming TV sources. Very quick and easy to build, runs the latest version of Kodi / OpenElec with ease and plays full screen hi res video.

Unbeatable for the price!

Outstanding value for money. The Raspberry Pi has come a long way, backed by the biggest and best online community. Copied by many but not matched in price. This isn't the best single board computer but easily good enough for most people. No antenna so WiFi is a bit hit and miss. Use Ethernet.Read full review

Best raspberry version ever

The best feature of this raspberry is undoubtedly its integrated wireless and bluetooth. Furthermore it is very fast compared to previous versions. The price is a bit high in my opinion, specially considering that all the extras will also have to be bought. Nevertheless it is well worth it and I highly recommend this product to everyone.Read full review
