Raspberry Pi 3 - Who to Buy It from??

LFergy1987 on 02/12/2016 - 18:48

Been looking at getting a Raspberry Pi 3 for a media centre but notice so many sellers seem to have them all at different prices.
Been looking at these
http://www.logicware.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-packs/
Was wondering if anyone has any experience with this seller.
My concern is they aren't genuine products. I'm new to raspberry pi so any advice is appreciated

should I just stick to the usual suspects like element14 and little bird?

    I bought my Pi 3 from this seller on Aliexpress and haven't had any problems:

    Prices are pretty similar. $58.95 for Pi 3 at logicware Vs $59.40 at RS once you add GST. http://au.rs-online.com/web/p/processor-microcontroller-deve…

    aliexpress might take a while to deliver if that matters.

    Element14 is pretty easy to deal with. No problems with fakes.

      Isn't Element14 only for commercial purposes?

    I just got one from RS. They were slightly cheaper than Element14 and made in the UK rather than China.

    I think i liked that the Logicware devices came with the accessories and stuff to get started as a media streaming device without much of a price jump.

    The only concern I have is power supply not being genuine.

    Does it matter if the board is China rather than UK?

      I 'think' all newer official boards are made in the UK.
