“I needed a new pi (my last was a pi model-b) because I wanted the 40 GPIO pins and the raspberry pi 3 absolutely blew my mind!
Primarily, it's 64-bit quad-core processor was the ultimate upgrade from the model-b and built in WiFi means no more WiFi dongle!”
“Built in wifi and bluetooth is fantastic especially as you no longer have to give up precious USB ports for these features.
Don't forget if you're upgrading to get the higher rated power supply.
Get a Pi 3 while you can!!”
“We've owned all the PIs so far, and this is the best of the full-size models. It runs quickly enough - with ubuntu mate - to be a good little computer, along with all the projects you can create with it. Highly recommended.”
