Raspberry Pi is number 1 among German makers

The Raspberry Pi is the most popular minicomputer worldwide and also in Germany. Almost one in two people who realize electronics projects privately or professionally have already used it. This is the result of a representative survey by Reichelt Elektronik.

The Raspberry Pi 3B+ has been available since March 2018. According to the Reichelt Elektronik survey, 78% of respondents are interested in buying this new Raspberry Pi model to replace an old single-board computer.
