Today, I got the new Raspberry Pi B+ from Newark. It is Raspberry B Plus model, which is a enhanced/improved version of the Raspberry PI B model.
The royal mail this time did their job properly, so I got this cute little box the next day.
Here it is what it looks like from the rear, and it says the basic specs for this credit-card size PC.

Here is the overview of the differences between B and the B+ model.
What I like most of the B+ model is that it has more USB ports (4 instead of 2 in B model), so for me, I can plug in the USB mouse, USB keyboard, the USB Wifi Adapter and one USB external Hard Drive, without any USB hubs.
The Micro SD slot saves space so you will pretty much the credit card size even when you have SD card inserted.
And, it looks nicer with the round corner:
The enhanced model is said to be more efficiency in power consumption but I don’t care on this one. The price for B plus model is roughly the same with the B model.
On a related note, there will be Element14 exclusive webinar with Eben Upton on 31 July.
