If you don’t need a full-blown Raspberry Pi 3B or 4, this could be all you need.
I have an old printer that only understands the no longer existent AppleTalk. Wanting to resurrect the printer to use with AirPlay on Apple iPads and iPhones, I needed a cheap print server. The Raspberry Pi 3A+, although minimalist, has everything needed. Network connection via wifi and a usb port. The latest Raspberry Pi operating system contains the CUPS system and driver libraries. A little bit of configuration later and I have a working print server. Best of all, it uses so little electricity, it doesn’t even register on a power meter. And, of course, it runs headless.

Good quality, excellent value
Product has arrived in perfect condition. This was the best value I could find on the internet - would definitely use this seller again.

Versatile and powerful
The media could not be loaded. Versatile piece of kit for anyone exploring electronics and coding. Lots of starter kits available. I have used my latest purchase as a kids jukebox to play music when an rfid card is scanned using an rfid module I bought separately.Be aware that it doesn’t have the same amount of RAM and ports as the B+, so check your requirements carefully. I use a usb hub when not using headless.Wouldn’t recommend as an everyday computer. Browsing is a little slow but great for fun projects.

Great if you are constrained by size but watch out for limited memory size
There is no denying the 3A+ is a capable little device and could be ideal is you need the processor of the bigger bother 3B+ but a small board size.However the 3A+ only has 512MB of RAM and as a consequence don’t think about running a desktop OS on it with a full GUI, as it is painful to use.However it perfect as a coprocessor when fitted to a BBC B Micro or BBC Master 8 bit computer from the 80s. The Pi is able to emulate a variety of 2nd processors and can run these at original processor speeds or much quicker.If you want to use it as a small print server or a ADS-B receiver then it is perfect. Given the price of the 3B+, unless you have a particular need for the small footprint you are probably better buying the 3B+ or a 4.

Fantastic bit of kit
Great bit of kit. I use my Pi to track aircraft on FR24, along with a receiver. Such a small bit of kit can do a whole manner of tasks. I printed a 3D case to put this in, to keep it a little safer.One negative is that a power lead is not provided. You get what is in the picture and no more.

Inexpensive way to start tinkering
Fab little computer board, easy to use. I have put octiprint with 5mp camera on it. Easy to set up remote control on windows with vnc viewer and control it from there. It's not the most powerful of them all but good for the job!

Works just fine
Fine, but too slow and can not be used for the installation of the lastest version of Screenly. So not recommand for those who would like to use it as a digital signage with Screenly.
