Obviously the price is way too high for such a board, but I was lucky to snatch this for $39 a little while ago. It's basically your all-purpose maker computer: make what you want to make with it, whether it be a home media center, experimental desktop PC, or a brain for your next robot.
Seriously?!!?? It's tolerance is less than 1%??? It's no wonder pretty much every power supply sold for the device has negative reviews about "low voltage".
As for using it, I did find one USB cable that could not hold up to the boot of the RPi. The rest work, but the Pi complains on all but one. It's a short cable that came with my WD Passport and it's much thicker than all my others. It works and I don't get voltage complaints.
The system boots up 2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch just fine. It asked for the WiFi user name and password and did the updates. It took a while to update, so I fixed supper and it was done when I got back.
It appears to be doing well. I have tried two tutorials, both of which start by having me use "git" to install software for the tutorial. Both time, Git could not find the packages. I suspect that the tutorials are a little old, so I'll keep plugging at it tomorrow.
I used it on an Ethernet direct connection and on WiFi. I turn off my WiFi when on the Cat-5 because I don't know what it does with it when it's also wired.
When I bought the PI, I thought it was another micro-controller like my Arduino. I didn't realize it's a full computer running Linux. I see it is good for Ham Operators (that's me! ;) so I'm sure I'll find something to put it to the test with.
So far, other than the low voltage, which I seemed to have overcome with the low-loss USB wire, I don't have any complaints. I'm looking forward to playing with it and hopefully, running a little SDR.

For my setup I am using:
- Raspberry Pi 3 B+
- Samsung 64GB Evo Plus microSDXC card
- iUniker Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Case
- Mackertop 5.25V 3A Micro USB Wall Charger AC Adapter
The only problem I ran into was trying to use a charger I already had which was supposed to support 5V 3A but the RPi would constantly report low power, about every 2-5 seconds. It seems the RPi 3 B+ (especially) is picky about the power supply used. The one I listed above and the CanaKit 5V 2.5A supply both worked for me and had no issues delivering enough power. I chose the power adapter I am using as it fit better on my power strip and had some additional juice.
I installed:
- Raspbian Stretch Lite
- Pi-Hole
- cloudflared (for DNS-over-HTTPS aka DoH)
Once installed and configured, which didnt take too much effort or time, I had Pi-hole running of this RPi and not only blocking ads and tracking network wide across all of my devices but also encrypting my DNS requests using DoH.
I added all the ticked lists from Wally3k's site, increasing the number of domains to block from the out-of-the-box ~120k to almost 800k.
This RPi 3 B+ handles it with ease. CPU usage is so low that often I wonder if the readings are correct, usually sitting in the 0-2% range if I am not interacting with the web GUI too much. RAM usage was ~7% with the default ~120k domains to block, which went to ~12% with the now ~800k domains to block. CPU temps sit in the mid 40c, peaking at about 49c which is well under the thermal threshold for throttling (which is 70c I think).
Granted this is not being used on a corporate network, but I am amazed at the performance of such a low powered and cheap machine. Very glad I got it and would highly recommend both in general and for my specific intent, as a Pi-Hole server.
