“Hi! I am running a long-term math simulations on my three RPi B3 and also one B2. I would like to say that B2 is hanging from time to time and so I have to restart it every second-third day. But all three B3 are very stable and no hanging so far over a few weeks already. So I think that B3 is a good and robust product even when the CPU is heavily loaded (all 4 cores are busy all time, ~192Mb of RAM used in total).”
“While I haven't done anything spectacular with my little bundle of silicon and fiberglass, it's amazing that it can serve up television programs and eventually replace my small space heater/PVR I built about 8 years ago.
PiHut was a breeze to work with. They're my British NewEgg friends.”
“I am using the pi3 for retropie gaming, in particular the zx spectrum emulation, the inbuilt bluetooth connects to my recreated zx spectrum flawlessly, its all the retro fun with the technology of today, thousands of games on the pi and controlled by the rubber dead flesh keyboard.
I have also used osmc (Kodi) on it and the built in wifi is more than fast enough for full 1080p streaming with absolutely no lag.
One tip, buy the proper power supply, normal ones dont cut it, you need that extra .2v and .5amp to make the most of it!
Best Pi ever.”
“Pi 3 is a great step up in the Pi family. Extra onboard hardware saves having to use up so many USB ports and probably the need for a powered USB hub. We just need to wait a little while for the developers to catch up with these new features to make full use of the potential.”
“If you have a Raspberry Pi, then get this one! It is so much better than all previous models, but if you have cases that you use, most of them won't fit the new pi as well because of the different circuitry and light placement.”
“A quantum leap in power & performance with added built in WiFi & Bluetooth, all for the same price as the previous model. What's not to like? Buy one, you know you want to :)”
