Raspberry Pi Model A+ is the smallest yet, cheap too

by 46 comments

The latest Raspberry Pi mini computer has landed and it has the smallest footprint in the family. Compared to the Model A, the A+ is 21mm shorter (65mm vs 86mm).

Achieving the smaller size is due to the removal of an Ethernet port and the move from an SD card to a microSD one that now fits with a push-in and is ejectable compared to the friction fit of the SD of old.

The Model A+ shares a lot with the higher-end Model B+. The Raspberry Pi Model A+ is built around the same Broadcom BCM2835 chipset with 256MB of RAM and is more than capable of handling tasks and games – check out the video below.

There are changes too – it has grown 14 new GPIO (pins) bringing the number to 40. There’s a much better audio circuit as well.
