Customers say

Customers like the performance, size and power consumption of the single board computer. For example, they mention it works great, it has a small footprint and is an excellent fit for smaller computational projects. That said, they appreciate the value for money. Opinions are mixed on ease of use.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

17 customers mention17 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the single board computer. They mention that it works great for simple games, and can be used in a variety of applications. Some mention that the camera module works well with the computer.

"This thing is amazing. Very small and so much support online. I loaded retropie running emulation station...." Read more

"Works well. This is the cheaper light weight alternative to the full raspberry pi. This is primarily used by people making robots...." Read more

"...Retropie and Raspbian which all were set up on a B+ but nevertheless worked good. Also tested with the camera module and PiGlow...." Read more

"...Ii found this dongle works great (others dongles didn't work): Plugable USB 2.0 Wireless N 802.11n 150 Mbps Nano WiFi Network Adapter..." Read more

16 customers mention13 positive3 negative

Customers like the size of the single board computer. They say it is small, easy to fit anywhere, and a good fit for smaller computational projects. Some mention that the power consumption and the small form factor were key in their application.

"This thing is amazing. Very small and so much support online. I loaded retropie running emulation station...." Read more

"...so batteries last longer than with newer models, and it has a smaller footprint...." Read more

"Wow. This thing is tiny. I mean, you see the measurements and know exactly how big it's going to be...." Read more

"Sooo small and sips power! So little that the NewTrent 6000mAh battery i used to power it shut off thinking nothing was drawing power!..." Read more

14 customers mention14 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the power consumption of the single board computer. They mention that it uses less power, is a good low price alternative for small projects, and is great for embedded systems. Some say that it has some good power to it and offers great performance for its compact form factor.

"...I got these because I think they offer great performance for their compact form factor but I won't be buying anymore...." Read more

"...It also has a lower power requirement than the full raspberry pi." Read more

"...or other embedded system because of its smaller size and lower power consumption...." Read more

"...And it's got some good power to it as well...." Read more

8 customers mention8 positive0 negative

Customers appreciate the value of the single board computer. They mention that it does the job at a very reasonable price, and is a great alternative to the newer revisions. Some say that it's a good Pi for inexpensive embedded systems.

"...Still, it does the job at a *very* reasonable price. I have 3 of these doing various tasks and one for robotic work...." Read more

"...has less memory, no Ethernet port and only one USB port, but costs less and uses less power...." Read more

"...Awesome value! 256MB of RAM is *small*, though. I have purchased 2 R-Pi A+ from different suppliers and both arrived in crushed boxes...." Read more

"Great cheap alternative to the newer revisions. If you don't need the power look at picking this model and save yourself some money...." Read more

8 customers mention8 positive0 negative

Customers find the single board computer versatile. They say it's great for custom purpose projects, a single-task device, and robotics projects. They also say it has a lot of potential for embedded systems development and is easy to use. Customers also mention that it'd be great for teaching LOGO.

"Awesome little computer! Very low power consumption, this is why I chose this model for my project...." Read more

"...It also makes a great single-task device...." Read more

"This is a high quality product with a lot of potential for embedded systems development...." Read more
