The new Raspberry Pi 3A+ is a stripped down and cheaper version of the flagship RPI 3B+. Is it worth the money? Where are the things you have to pay attention? Comparison to Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 3B+

Comments:
RPi 3B+ boards are frequently on sale for ~$29. Unless space is a premium, or if the 3A+ can run with significantly less power, or if you need to buy a lot of them, it’s hard to make a strong case for this new version.

Raspberry Pi Foundation announces $25 Pi 3 Model A+, with a quad-core 1.4GHz CPU but less RAM and USB ports than the $35 Model B+ —

Raspberry Pi made a cheaper version of its most powerful PC
The $25 Pi 3 Model A+
https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/11/15/18095550/raspberry-pi-3-a-plus-announced-specs-price

The new model, called the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+, uses the same quad-core 1.4GHz Broadcom processor as the high-end Model B+. It also has the same support for Bluetooth 4.2 as well as 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, making it easy to use anywhere there’s a connection.

But a few specs are being cut back to account for the $10 price reduction. There’s no longer an Ethernet port (you have to use Wi-Fi), there’s only 512MB of RAM instead of 1GB, and it drops to just one USB 2.0 port instead of four.

The Pi 3 A+ is far from Raspberry Pi’s cheapest computer — that’d still be the $5 Pi Zero
