Description of Raspberry Pi 3 Computer Board

This single-board computer is capable of many of the things your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing and playing high-definition video and games. It can run several flavors of Linux and is being used to teach kids all over the world how to program. The Raspberry Pi 3 A+ is here and, like the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, it boasts a 64-bit quad core processor running at 1.4GHz, dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN, and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE. Skill Level: Assembled and Tested.

Perfect for SNES car reproduction for Retropie!

I put this guy in a SNES car using a 3D printing kit I found on etsy. These little guys are perfect if you like the Pi3 but want something smaller or don't need the extra USB/LAN ports.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Senior Citizen

Exceeds expectations

The seller exceeded all expectations. We thought we had a bad Pi so Randy sent us a new one. Then when we thought the new one wouldn't work, but we found out it was our 200GB SD card, we tried flashing it ourselves; So he sent us a free SD card with Noobs already installed. What a great seller, highly recommend! Oh, make sure you have the right power requirements (not just 5v but 5v/2.5amp or at least 1amp) otherwise the Pi will not be able to complete the Raspbian OS installation!

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • old

Good RPi option, best for computer components

This is a great option if you need a smaller size or lower power consumption if you don't want the extra storage or USB ports that come with the B+ require. Too bad more sellers don't carry it.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Negative

I love it. - Computers and accessories

The Raspberry Pi 3A+ is small (less than 3 inches on each side), has 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, four processors (cores) and enough memory for most applications. It features a 40-pin General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) header that provides +5V, +3.3V, ground, serial, I2C, SPI, and multiple pins that can be configured as input or output . . It also features a full-size HDMI (High Definition Media Interface) display port. A feature that some other processors (like the ATMega) lack is A/D and D/A…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Secret

One last cheer for Raspberry Pi 3

This is a fun little board for projects that need to make a USB device accessible over Wi-Fi. For example I will use it to send digital audio to a USB DAC. I can use one (separately) to read data from CD/DVD over Wi-Fi. WiFi 5 GHz works very well. Even with suboptimal placement, I'm seeing 200Mbps links to my somewhat outdated AP-AC-LR UniFi APs, and consistently better actual transfer rates than 100Mbps both ways. Not bad for a $25 computer. I'd like to add a photo, but Revain no longer seems…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Garbage. Electronics good for computers and accessories

It shorted out and became unusable within four months. Apparently this is a known issue with the 5V contact burning. Mine was on a shelf and was running. waste of money. These A+s are rubbish. Spend the extra $7 and get a full size 3b+.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
