yeah
hi its came from here computing editor at separate out calm and today we're
here to look at the raspberry pi 3 the pi3 is the fastest version of the
microcomputer yet and introduce new features such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi but
it hasn't abandoned its core principles it still costs just there to five
dollars and runs raspbian a free version of linux deviant that you can use to
download programming tools and the number of basic programs and utilities
so it's three the magic number
let's find out can you get work done on it
document always need not fear as Robin comes with the open source LibreOffice
three suite installed it includes a word processor spreadsheet editor a formula
editor and the presentation creator giving you the basic tools you need to
be productive
you can also access cloud-based software programs like google docs through the
Raspberry Pi threes epiphany browser and if you need more programs you can
install them in just a few clicks
can you play games on it ok it's not going to rain fall out for any time soon
but the raspberry pi three packs a punch for small size pairing a 64-bit ARM
Cortex 853 card processor with an upgraded video call for GPU is almost
twice as fast as the one in the previous generation pi
the latest pi/3 comes with a special edition of Minecraft that's designed for
learning programming rather than battling creepers
but there are a number of other games you can play to some of the best
adventure games have been ported to the pi including beneath a steel sky light
of the Amazon Queen and even the classic broken sword can use it anywhere in the
house
one of the best things about the raspberry pi 3 is that it no longer
forces you to connect it to our rooms are using the white cable thanks to
inbuilt Wi-Fi you can use it with a monitor anywhere in the house which is
particularly useful if you want to sit next to a big TV and use it as a media
center
the pi also has bluetooth for the first time meaning you can connect compatible
keyboard and mouse to surf the web from the comfort of your sulfur
can you download a different browser the raspberry pi 3 isn't going to be as
quick as your regular computer when it comes to surfing the web but it is
significantly faster than previous versions thanks to 64-bit ARM processor
if you're not keen on the look off speed of the default epiphany browse that
there are several options available to you
firefox clone iceweasel is a popular choice and there's also web and midori
they are packed with features such as html5 CSS JavaScript and plug-in
supports and because the lightweight you can browse the web
watch youtube videos and play flash games with minimum slow down
can you run it in 4k you might be wondering if the raspberry pi can be
used with that shiny 4k TV you bought last week but unfortunately the answer
is that it's not quite there yet
while it's technically possible to get the mini machine two outputs a pixel
resolution of 3840 x 2160 you are limited to be very low refresh rate
which makes the pie feel slower than a hedgehog wading through treacle for all
of its incredible value the pi3 is still primed for using at 1920 x 1080 also
known as 1080p
there's nothing stopping you hooking the opportunity for Cate Le but you are
better off sticking to 1080p to use the PI to silky smooth 60 heads
can you use it to land the program you won't get any prizes for guessing the
answer to this one
the pi is upgraded specs make it a much more useful computer than previous
versions but it is still one that's designed for programming the raspberry
pi 3 is improved performance low cost and wide range of tools make it ideal
for letting too cold
raspbian comes with several pre-installed tools to help you on the
way including ones for learning wolfram mathematica sonic PI and of course
scratch
can you use it to brew craft beer the raspberry pi 3 is a computer of many
talents and helping you to brew the perfect craft beer is one of them using
a program called brew target you can calculate what you'll need to brew beer
in more than 100 styles including belgian pale English IPA and side you
can set temperatures and aim to get your beer the perfect color for brewing as
long as you've got the space to do it
all things considered the raspberry pi is incredible value and it's impressive
the amount of things that you can do with it
if you're looking for a cheap small pc to replace your desktop and you don't
mind putting up with a slightly slower experience with some of the things you
do on it
the raspberry pi 3 is an excellent choice thanks for liking
