“I bought this as soon as they came on sale and have recently used it on an overseas trip. The built in wifi connected flawlessly to the hotel WiFi and I was able to use Kodi rather than watch advert laden US TV. Make sure you get a decent power supply, the Pi3 does seem to be more fussy than my "old" Pi2.”
“Bought this as a multi purpose project really, one to start tinkering with ideas for use as an IoT controller/hub for some A-Level project possibilities. Secondly, as a retro game emulator so I can reduce my collection of retro machines and cartridges.
So far both have worked incredibly well with only a few hiccups, none of which were with the Pi 3 itself.
I did buy a case for it too and the only thing being the microSD card can be quite fiddly to change unless you have some tweezers to hand. If that is the only niggle I have found so far. Then it truly deserves a 5 star rating!”
“Definitely noticeable performance improvement over Pi2. Ubuntu MATE - https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-for-raspberry-pi-3/ - works with no or little response lag.”
“Picked up a pi3 Model B at launch - arrived quickly and what can I say its a Pi but faster with more features, I am about to build a RetroPie with mine ;-)”
“I'm using it as a staging server for my web development projects and very impressed with the workloads it can handle. Could easily see data centers in the future being filled with millions of these!”
