Review on 🍓 Raspberry Pi 3 B Model Board by Jorge Eckstein

*Edit: In addition to the personal use license for the Wolfram programming language, a free copy of Minecraft, Intel has apparently now made the Movidius AI USB Compute Stick compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3 B - which means that you can run intelligent systems on SBCs with an ARM chip (like Google's TensorFlow) when Stretch is installed on the Pi. And you own/buy a Movidius Compute Stick (around $80). So, with new boards featuring onboard AI (like the $300 Kirin 970 chipset), the RPi 3 B is still relevant and competitive. affordable, including its own successor, the 3 B+, the Pi 3 B remains cheaper and a remarkably reliable computer. The Pi3s specs on paper compared to countless other boards give the impression that the Pi3 is way behind. This is completely wrong - I can get the Pi3 to run smoother than other boards that take twice the processing power. The main advantages are ease of use, easy setup and an incredibly wide support community. If you encounter problems, troubleshooting and solving the problem will be as easy as possible. For Linux newbies, the Pi3 has a lot to teach. The Raspbian-powered Pi3 offers a lot of value in terms of software - for example, you get a license to use the Wolfram Alpha programming language for your own use. I think €35 is a lot. He also has a copy of Minecraft ready to use. And that's in addition to the vast Linux open source software library. And the Pi3 is ready for hardware upgrades - overclocking is easy, all it takes is a configuration file change. So it can have low stock specs, you can squeeze out a decent amount of extra processing power. I definitely think the Pi3B is a great purchase for many reasons. Please note that a power adapter (pre-switch) and a microSD card are required for the operating system. Also some small heatsinks are a good idea and inexpensive. So there are some things you need to buy if you don't already have the required items.
