“The RPi3A, or whatever its called, is a nice bit of computer kit, only let down by the lack of USB connectivity. It only has one USB socket, which means that a HUB is nessesary to connect a mouse and keyboard. The HUB adds to the cost of the 3A, making it as expensive as the RPi3B+, with its RJ45 connectivity and its 4 USB ports.
I bought one. I won't be buying any more, but I have a further two RPi3B+ on order. Nuff sayed..
cheers”
“I thought I would test it out in the CEED Pi-Top Laptop... works ok, but seems a
bit slower than the normal RPi 3B+ nevertheless smaller footprint & no doubt
good for many other applications. I am happy with it...”
“The A+ has got the perfect form factor especially with the Pibow Coupe case. Shorter than the B+ and doesn't have the network and USB ports sticking out. Full speed Processor and WiFi makes the A+ the "go to" Pi for me.”
“It's smaller size is brilliant ..but just as powerful as it's bigger brother ,the built in WiFi and B/T is great , if you like the Raspberry Pi 's you will definitely want this one .....”
“I have been asked to review this board, which I will willingly do when I eventually receive it! Pi Hut customer service has been less than helpful in tracking/tracing my order. Other UK suppliers can get things to me in France in a matter of days, why not the Pi Hut. Luckily, there are other RPi suppliers...”
“I bought this for a micro Linux laptop project.
Was originally planning to use a pi 0 since a 3B+ would be too big to go with the hyperpixel display and layout I planned. However this fits beautifully in the sweet spot of size and performance :) well done raspberry pi foundation”
“Nice little board, however, as there is only the one USB socket, you may have trouble using it with a keyboard & mouse. My original intention was to run it from a SSD, that's not going to happen, as it doesn't boot from it, not enough power from the socket. So the only way for mine will be to have to use a micro SDHC card, & a small wifi keyboard/mouse pad unit.”
