Interesting news from Raspberry Pi today. They’ve launched a new product: the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+. Take a look at the official announcement here. It’s basically a 3B+, with the associated improvements in speed and thermal performance but in the smaller A+ form factor. The Ethernet port has been removed and there is but one USB port. The RAM is also cut down to 512MB. This smaller form factor is great for embedded projects that need increased performance and is sure to be popular amongst the industrial market and hobbyists needing the extra vroom!

You can get hold of the 3A+ by visiting The Pi Hut, Pimoroni or ModMyPi. The price is around £23. Other sellers, such as Adafruit, are sure to come online soon.
