New Raspberry Pi:— 64 bit, WiFi/Bluetooth-enabled Pi

Powerful enough to be your next desktop. And still $35.

reddit comments are probably more insightful than the article

Excellent news, cpu supposed to be 60% faster. My pi2 does well with everything except 3d bd rips (they play but it's overclocked, and just barely), this ought to do it.

I'm using a W10 media server about the same size as 3 rpi's side-by-side for my main machine. They're using a mirror setup at the real estate office for their biz.  Size of everyday-use machines is now driven more by the type, size, & number of the ports you need on the case.
