“The new Pi 3B is faster, to boot and to run. But the fact that it requires the latest Stretch release to run at all is an issue for me. As a teacher, I have configured a version of Jessie onfigured to the needs of my classes, which does not work with the 3B+. Planning to buy 14 more Pi this month, but am tempted to buy the 3B, not the 3B+, to save me many hours of configuring Stretch to my needs.”
“Almost everything is faster than with the Raspberry Pi 3B, except for the ram. That's a big bottleneck on this system. But it's a Raspberry Pi so it's great. Here is my Youtube review.

“I now have 2 raspberry pi's the B from 2012 and now the 3B+ from 2018 awsome, the new one is so quick and rapid more like a full pc than my other pi.”
“After further digging around, changing power supplies (including using separate ones on both the RPi & the screen's own board), keyboards etc., I discovered that, despite updating the OS as described in my previous post, it still wasn't the latest version or anything like it. Not sure I fully understand why!
I eventually created a new image & it now works perfectly on the official screen.”
