“A great and cheaper alternative to a Pi-3B, with a smaller footprint it's the same size as my duplex mmdvm modem hat. Both fit in the Pi A+ clear case perfectly, cheers,
Bill”
“I like the new A+ for stand alone/headless projects where high performance and low power consumption is a must. The single USB is more than made up for by the on-board WiFi and BluTooth. For when you need to connect to a monitor, the full-sized HDMI is ideal and for development, a combined wireless keyboard/mouse combination is all that is required to give full functionality.”
“I bought the Pi and had it sent to my grandson in England. His dad tells me that within 24 hours he had it connected to an old monitor they had, had downloaded an operating system with Minecraft pre-installed, and was set up and playing Minecraft!”
“I bought this to lower power requirements on a robotic project that runs off batteries. The 3A+ draws less power than the 3B+ and even less if you disable the HDMI. Works great and the smaller footprint it a great bonus although it is at the cost of USB ports.”
“Adding this little gem to my collection of raspberry devices was a no-brainier, just a tad smaller than 2x zero w’s combined but packing almost as much pwr as a 3 B+ and for £23 + p&p. I highly recommend this for tasks that are under-kill for their bigger brothers but may struggle on the petite and wonderful raspberry pi zero..!”
