This is the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B: a substantial upgrade from the Model B+ that will go on sale later today for $35/£25. The new board has some fundamental upgrades that could well warrant the upgrade for existing Raspberry Pi dabblers -- that is, if smaller wasn't better (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/10/raspberry-pi-model-a-plus/). Raspberry Pi Foundation lead Eben Upton (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/raspberry-pi-hands-on-and-eben-upton-interview-at-maker-faire-v/) told The Register that the new Model B "is a usable PC now." A fact borne out by official support for Windows 10 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/02/windows-10-is-coming-to-the-raspberry-pi-2/).
"You could use a Raspberry Pi 1 as a PC but you had to say 'this is a great PC in so far as it cost me 35 bucks'. We've removed the caveat that you had to be a bit forgiving with it. Now it's just good."
