Marking the 10 millionth Raspyberry Pi sale, The Foundation is now releasing a new cheap bundle that includes all of the accessories needed to start an aspiring programmer's journey with the board.
The Foundation's new £99 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B includes an 8GB microSD card complete with a housing. Users will not have any problems searching and downloading the NOOBS operating system as it already comes saved inside the card.
Raspberry Pi computers are often used by those who want to dive into the world of programming and even robotics as there are hundreds of possibilities and projects. There are even forums and websites listing all the things people can do with a Raspberry Pi computer.
The new bundle is also including an official case for the whole motherboard. They will also get a keyboard, an optical mouse, a copy of Adventures in Raspberry Pi Foundation, an HDMI cable and a compatible power supply.
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B bundle is currently available for customers in the United Kingdom only, Trusted Reviews has learned. Users outside the UK can rest easy knowing that The Foundation will eventually rollout the bundle across the globe in the following weeks.
First time users of the motherboard might find it hard to find all of the things that they need to get started. While some projects have complete instructions, starting up from scratch can be a challenge.
The Foundation only expected to sell about 10,000 units throughout its lifetime but now they are considered to be the most successful computer from Britain in history, The Register reported. Originally, The Foundation just wanted to attract more students to take up Computer Science at the University of Cambridge but it obviously blew up to be much more than that.
"To celebrate the ten millionth Raspberry Pi, for the first time we've put together our own idea of what the perfect bundle would look like, creating the official Raspberry Pi Starter Kit," The Foundation CEO Eben Upton said in their official blog post.
Users who want to get a head start on their projects with the computer should buy the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B bundle in the UK. Those who are in other countries will have to wait for a few weeks for the bundle to be rolled out internationally.
