Ahead of this weekend’s 4th birthday of the original Raspberry Pi, RS-Components announced the availability of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B in South Africa.

Raspberry Pi 3 Launched in SA-01

The original Raspberry Pi Model B launched on 29th February 2012 with 256MB on-board memory with only 10,000 units scheduled to be produced for sale, of which only 2,000 were delivered to RS-Components in the back of the developers’ car. The demand for the unit was overwhelming, and has, to date, shipped over 5 million units, 30,000 in South Africa alone, across its spectrum of Pi units, despite the weakened Rand.

    I’ve always wanted one of these. Now with the beefier (if that is a word) I want one even more.

      I’ve been running my original Model B as a media player for 4 years and still going strong.
      I’m also keen on the Pi Zero soon to be released as well.
      And yes, beefier is a word, exactly how you meant it.
