A Raspberry Pi 3 is worth a buy for anyone who has the time and desire to put it together. With the vast array of Raspberry Pi projects available it will certainly keep the tech enthusiast busy. The tiny board can be fitted into tight cases and can be use...
Abstract: “Mini PCs” is something of an umbrella term and it covers a few distinctive types of product. One such sub-species is the board-only PC – or microcomputer, or maker board. Whatever you want to call it, it’s essentially a petite motherboard with attached s...
The Raspberry Pi 3 is a remarkable piece of technology. True, it may not be the most revolutionary upgrade from the Pi 2, but it builds upon a rich community of support and maintains a level of backwards compatibility to boards and projects created for ea...

More powerful quad-core processor, WiFi and Bluetooth support, compatible with existing hardware and software
Needs additional hardware and software components to function
The Raspberry Pi has evolved rapidly since its introduction four years ago as a no-frills device for kids to learn programming skills. The Raspberry Pi 3 makes the device 64-bit ready (although still running 32-bit software) and powerful enough to be used...
More powerful quad-core processor, WiFi and Bluetooth support, compatible with existing hardware and software
Needs additional hardware and software components to function
The Raspberry Pi 3, with its 1.2GHz quad-core processor and added WiFi, is rapidly developing into a capable device with a burgeoning hobbyist and industrial ecosystem, without ditching its education roots. On top of all this, it costs the same as the ori...
