“It's a great little board! It's powerful enough for most tasks but at a lower cost and smaller form factor. Just make sure you don't need ethernet or more than one USB port (I didn't know I did until it was too late)”
“Smaller and practicall version of rpi 3. Same power, minus unnecessary ports. Approximate size is two rpi zeros. Ideal for gameboy zero projects. Well actually gameboy three :)...”
“The 3A+ was my first pi a couple of years ago and I found it a bit tricky. When I was working stuff I kept having to plug and unplug USB devices and configure WiFi settings and stuff and in retrospect I think reckon a 3B+ would have made things a lot easier right at the start.
However, now I know what I’m doing a bit more I think they are great, especially at the current price. I think if you have a particular project in mind and you know that you won’t miss the extra connectivity, these are great!!!”
