I’ve used many types of Raspberry Pi Boards and I find them absolutely excellent for various types of projects, I also use various types of Raspberry Pi for my Radio Amateur project’s, I’m now building a MicroNode using my New Raspberry Pi 3B+ Board which I will be using to communicate with other Radio Amateur’s around the world 🌎.

My Raspberry Pi 3 B+ arrived on the west coast of the U.S.A. a few days after I ordered it, in my mailbox. A few of the pins on the header were slightly bent, but they were easy to straighten. This Raspberry Pi 3 B+ will run Home Assistant with a Zigbee transceiver connected to one of the USB ports, and other i/o through WiFi or Bluetooth. I'm happy with this purchase.

A great little Pi for the money. Needed this one to just to run BOINC and it works effectively. Although there are better models, I didn’t need the higher spec so this one being available was just what I needed. Excellent service again.

Ok, so it's not got as much processing power as the 4 but for a lot of things has enough, is cheaper and uses less power. So excellent for things like small music servers, mini NAS, PiHole etc.

The RPI3B+ works just as it should. Arrived promptly, packaged well. It seems like Pimoroni is the only place to have any stock.

First one I have bought, performs exactly as expected and performs its task perfectly. Will not be the last as have several projects where a Pi 3B+ is required and will fit. Obviously these will be bought from Pimoroni, as they always seem to have stock when I need it and at a good price.

Still a good option for physical computing projects, powerful enough for computer vision and AI projects at a good price.

Excellent service, quick delivery. I'd recommend getting a heat sink too, as the board heats up a little.

The Pi 3B+ is a perfect little computer for me, very stable and very reliable. Solid software with fantastic support and really great community support. For example I am using a raspberry pi 3B+ on my 3d printer to run octoprint which is brilliant. I use a second pi 3B+ with my Commodore 64 computer to run Pi1541 Which is a cyclic accurate 1541 floppy drive, but you run the games from micro sd card! Great stuff! Pi’s are just the best!

Bought it for a SNES style case I'm putting together for a retro games console. Fits the bill perfectly and plays everything Retropie can throw at it :)

Works like magic. It reminds you of older, slighlty slower computers of the '90s. Brings back memories

After several M8S boxes, Droidboxes, etc, etc, none of them run LibreElec without bugs. This is my first Pi and does what it says out of the box. Bought a DAC+ card for it and now running the Pi as a media centre. What a great piece of kit. First class service from the owners of this web site / shop, Pimoroni!!!

It is my first time to shop at Pimoroni , i would like to say that i have some queries and was impressed by the fast respond from Pimoroni. i put an order and waiting to receive it and feed back to you. Thanks Pimoroni for your great collection.

With multiple USB ports and integrated WiFi/Bluetooth this is really what the Pi should have always been. It's the perfect configuration if you want to build a small personal computer, or a media server. It's also got a rather powerful processor, so ideal for applications where the cheaper Pi Zero is too underpowered for the application load you have in mind. Recommended.

This Raspberry Pi is the fastest one yet! I would recommend getting a Class 10 Micro SD card for best performance.

Got this shipped from Pimoroni to Australia, got it delivered in a week's time , fantastic.. works perfectly fine, installed Kodi on it , and Pi3 makes such a big difference, given I upgraded it from Pi2. Thanks again Pimoroni for making it available in Australia at a reasonable price.

I Ordered 2 Raspberry Pi 3 to make squeezeboxes. After playing with a few different OS's I've settled on PiCore Player and they work perfectly. Thankyou Pimoroni, look forward to purchasing more.

This SBC can handle a modest amount of computing, especially with a Class 10 Micro SD card! Overall, this is the best edition yet, and I would recommend it to anyone.

When the information appeared that the Raspberry Pi 3 I waited with enthusiasm what developers invent. Now, after all the tests, I can say with gratitude that the PI 3 is a product that worth the money. If you decide to buy, highly recommend active cooling, then set output remains even after prolonged use. I highly recommend to all who have PI 2 or older.

Raspberry Pi 3 is the best platform I have ever used, it is way faster than Pi 2 and with the build in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules making IoT projects become much cheaper and way easier than before. This single-board computer is great for my robotics project, because it has quad-core x64 1 Ghz CPU which makes the algorithms to run faster so can my robot recognize objects and people fast and easy. I recommend this product for beginners, robot builders, IoT makers, hobbyists and people who want to make something amazing.

Extramly happy with the Pi 3, what an upgrade. The built-in wifi works wonderful. Bluetooth test pending.. Thank you pimoroni.com.

From the time I ordered to the time I received my order was 4 days - super quick delivery, particularly as it was coming to continental Europe. Much appreciated! And thank you for the smooth, no-fuss ordering service. As for the Pi 3...all I have to do now is figure out what I actually want to do with it! The on-board bluetooth and wifi are a most welcome upgrade, and will free up USB slots for other things. Maybe just set it up with my touchscreen for now and use it as a quick and ready mobile computer.

The pi is very easy to use, we received it with the OS preloaded so once the case as built it was pretty much 'plug and play'. We have been using the pi for about an hour and already we are creating our own RPG. Very highly recommended.

Haven't received it yet but it's not a doubt in my mind this version Pi will rock. With all of the improvements how can it not? Can't wait to get it in my hands.
