## Overview

The Raspberry Pi 3 A+ is a compact, energy-efficient single-board computer featuring a 1.4GHz 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 CPU, 512MB LPDDR2 RAM, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz & 5GHz), Bluetooth 4.2, and an extended 40-pin GPIO header. It offers full-size HDMI and USB ports in a smaller footprint, making it ideal for DIY projects, lightweight desktop use, and wireless applications, all while maintaining low power consumption and versatile connectivity.

## Description

Small size, 1 USB port

Review: Excellent if priced well. - As good as any Raspberry Pi, the 3 A+ is similarly powerful to the Zero 2, except it has full size HDMI and USB ports as well as DSI display connector, leaving the GPIO pins completely available. The same low power consumption as the Zero 2, being 5V 2.5A. Comparable performance. But the 3A+ is obviously a bit bigger. Not as big as the full size Pi 3B or Pi 4 and beyond, but nicely in the middle. They really are quite similar and I would suggest that if you don't mind using all the adapters required for the Zero 2, you might as well go for that one. In my case, the Zero 2 was sold out in many places and more than £30 elsewhere. So I went got the 3A+ because it was only £27. Still quite pricey, but that's the world we live in now. If you've never held a Raspberry Pi in your hands, you'll be blown away by how compact these things are for what they can do. I'm using it for a sort of desktop cyberdeck, with a touchscreen and keyboard, housed in a DIY enclosure, running a few lightweight Python scripts. I didn't bother with a CPU cooler, but drilled a few holes for passive cooling and it all seems fine. For running desktop UIs, it's a bit sluggish, but as long as you're only running the types of simple programs it can handle, it's great. Otherwise, you'd probably be better off grabbing a Pi 3B, or even the 4 or 5, but they do take up a good deal more space in two dimensions. They're wider and thicker because of the additional ports, not to mention the 5 really requires active cooling and is a lot more power hungry, which starts to defeat the purpose of a palm size hobbyist computer and looks more like a mini PC. The 3A+ for me was the perfect middle ground in all of that. I'm chuffed and would recommend it. Mine was supplied by Rapid Electronics and delivered by DHL. Very good packaging and delivery was quicker than expected. Can't complain.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mid-range computer excellent value for money
*by J***T on 20 May 2020*

I was so amazed at the price of this which is less powerful than the 4B+ but still is fantastic for project work. It was little more than the cost of the Zero WH but has the much better processor. I've recommended this to everyone since
