Lets take a look atthe best-selling Britishcomputer ever.

Set Up
Raspberry PiUsing a Mac

The older Raspberry Pi 2 model can still be found on sale. It has thesame form factor as the Raspberry Pi 3 with 4 USB Ports, Ethernet connection and Micro USB.
It may look the same but it has a slower 900 MHZ quad-core ARMCortex-A7 CPU and 1GB RAM. This brings it close in line to manylow-end desktop computers.
Complicating matters slightly is the existence of a Raspberry Pi Model1 B+, which is identical in layout to the Raspberry Pi Model 2 but withan even slower ARMv6 700MHz processor. If you are confused whichtype you own then type cat /proc/cpuinfo at the command line. If itlists four ARMv7 processors you are using a Raspberry Pi 2, if you seejust one with ARMv6 then you have the older Raspberry Pi Model 1 B+.

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ was launched on 14 March International Pi day 2018. This is an improved version with a faster1.4GHz, 64-bit quad-core ARM Coretx-A53 processor, a dual-band802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2 controller, faster GigabitEthernet, improved mass storage, USB booting, improved thermalmanagement and Power-Over-Ethernet support. All other aspectsof the new Raspberry Pi are the same as the previous Pi 3 and assuch, all the previous content you come across is compatible. ifyoure new to the wonderful world of the Raspberry Pi, this is theboard we recommend you buy.

The Raspberry Pi is a British built low costcomputer that enables everybody to learncomputing, start programming and explorebasic electronics. Its the size of a creditcard but capable of running a full operatingsystem and doing everything a desktop does.
