The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B has been given a makeover. The latest addition to the Raspberry Pi range, the 3B+ has a 64-bit quad-core processor which runs at a more powerful 1.4GHz. It also offers dual-band wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2/BLE and a Gigabit ethernet port. It's definitely a more powerful beast, but it retains the easy connectivity and software of the Raspberry Pi 3.
To help users get started Rapid has produced a basic student kit that contains a Raspberry Pi 3 model B+ plus a new Pibow 3 case, MicroSDHC card, cables, keyboard and mouse.
For programming, the latest version of the operating system for the Raspberry Pi can be downloaded for free from here, and can be loaded onto the microSDHC card for use on the Pi.
