It is currently 99 USD at Digitec Switzerland
review of Andreas Spiess
- the price at launch was 28 SFR which is about 28 USD four years ago
- 4 years ago it was 50 USD incl. shipping
features:
- double the size of the Raspberry Pi zwero w2
- one usb connector shorter
- 4 years ago it was difficult to find cases
- no ethernet adapter
- the Ram size is only 512 mb
- it is an alternative to the bigger Raspberry Pi devices which draw more power and need a bigger battery
- Raspberry Pi offers a solution for people who are looking for a device with long battery life which is available in Switzerland
- it price has increased from 28 USD four years ago to 99 USD at Digitec Switzerland. Is this device woth that much?
- There are alternatives to the Raspberry Pi 3A+:
- the Raspberry Pi zero w2 which is not available in Switzerland
- the Mango Pi MQ quatt – user report that it works with Debian, it is not available in Switzerland, but sold for around 30 USD on Aliexpress
If we are heavy users who are looking for a mobile device, we have to ask the question if it not a better solution to buy used Raspberry Pi 3’s on Ricardo Switzerland which can be bought there at a reasonable price.
- We currently own 3 Raspberry Pi 3 devices, which we only have used to test those.
- One broke to this date, and we are asking the question how durable are these devices?
- Many questions about Raspberry Pi devices are open, especially regarding their prize politics.
