New Raspberry Pi is officially released — the 64-bit, WiFi/Bluetooth-enabled Pi 3 is powerful enough to be your next desktop. And still $35.

As someone who recently purchased a Pi2...

But SO COOL!

NodeBB runs on an original RPi. Now we're looking at tiny little boards that can run entire desktops. Crazy.

Speaking of timing, as much as I love my giant dedicated server. Its getting a tad expansive, and that new Pi looks like a good way to offload some of my lesser applications I run to it

Ordered this today. Have a Pi 2 running OSMC and a CUPS print server. But will hot swap it for the Pi 3 and potentially use it for more automation. Then use the Pi 2 for some sort of project. Quite like the idea of the mirror with screen behind it.

@a_5mith Oh ye, I'm also looking at those and thinking... "I want one... nooowwww", then never actually getting to it.

@a_5mith

I want to make one of those mirrors myself. Would be an awesome dashboard.

Weather.
Home automation
Bitcoin stats

Drool.......

Just show off with your sleek looking mirror displaying a live feed of the NodeBB forums

I'm thinking maybe I can load up some sort of minimal OS and migrate all of my development to the cloud

Raspbian, maybe...

@julian It runs really well on the Pi 3 apparently from the videos I've seen.

julian

Well that's no good, since I literally just bought a Pi2 a couple weeks ago

good timing
