“having owned the previous model (pi 2), I really have few qualms with this model. It comes with wifi on board you can practially use it out of the box, provided you have the necessary equipment (keyboard, mouse, hdmi-cable).
I did have some slight performance issues, which are probably due to my bad wi-fi.
All in all you really get a lot lot for the money. I can recommend this little computer to all people who love a great gadget, who want to teach their children and love tinkering themselves.
I've also recommended buying this computer for the refugees in my area as they it is extremely inexpensive and provides pretty much all software people need for everyday purposes, such as communication, entertainment and learning.”

Pay attention to the heat, if your project is computationally intensive, consider buying heatsinks.”
