Raspberry Pi Model B+ Review: An Awesomely Versatile $35 Mini PC

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ takes the immensely popular Raspberry Pi platform and adds a lot of capability, all for the same affordable $35 price. Compared to past versions of the Pi, the Pi 3 Model B+ has more powerful processing, faster Wi-Fi and...

Expanded processing power and connectivity ; Flexible design is great for projects ; Free software ; Great for makers and students

Some basic parts needed unless you buy in a kit ; Linux and DIY features have a learning curve

When it comes to inexpensive project PCs, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is cheap, capable and better than ever.

Raspberry Pi B+: Same tiny price, more USBs and microSD

The phenomenally successful Raspberry Pi microcomputer received its first major upgrade today, with the new Raspberry Pi B+ adding new ports and reducing its already tiny power requirement. The original Model B -- just a tiny board that can output to...

The original Model B will remain on sale, Upton explains, mainly for industrial customers who've designed products around the older system.

Raspberry Pi Model B review

It's a fully functioning PC that's barely bigger than a credit card

Ultra-cheap computing for the masses Plenty of potential uses

Technical inclination essential

You'll need an insatiable desire to tinker with technology in order to get the most from the Pi. If so, the Pi's low cost and extensive tweakability make it a no-brainer.

Raspberry Pi Model B+ review

The Model B+ squeezes more USB ports and 40 GPIO pins onto the handheld form-factor

Affordable; Extra USB ports; Improved reliability; More efficient

Some add-ons won't work; Same processor and RAM; Shifted mechanical layout

The Raspberry Pi Model B+ is an undeniable improvement over its predecessor. Extra USB ports mean you no longer require a hub, and more reliable power circuitry means fewer crashes.

Raspberry Pi Model B+ review

An updated offering with more I/O and more compact design

Still low cost, smaller and more standard shape, updated I/O options, more USB ports, more memory

Upgrades could have been slightly bigger, performance could be slightly better

The Raspberry Pi Model B+ booted up first time and worked flawlessly from the get-go. Unlike the original, after it runs through its hardware detection and configuration, users are now greeted with a configuration menu as opposed to a list of commands,...

Great case

I used mine with some sticky Velcro to attach my Raspberry PI B+ to the back of my monitor. (I mounted it on the back, near the edge, so the WiPi and bluetooth dongle slightly sticking out, and are not blocked by the monitor

The top of the case seems to hold on pretty good so far, but I would feel better if there was more of a latch, or other stronger connection between the top and bottom halves
