As nice as it is, it is still a Raspberry Pi Model A/A+ without Ethernet and only 1 USB port in a very tiny board (about 1.25in X 4.5in). The added memory and the faster CPU are enhancements to the original model. This is still a great machine, especially for Linux (Raspbian, a Debian distro or it). It is arguably a PIII or Intel Atom of the same MHz though many say it is a PII. What do they know?
I need to sit down and write up another article; though I have 1/2 written for the R-Pi 2.
