Its been a while since my last post, was busy working on stuffs and finally got some time to do this again.
The Raspberry Pi 3 unboxing! Finally got my hands on one of the device and got a chance to take a few pictures.
Here you go. Enjoy the pictures!

Here is what i have for today! Overall the casing is quite solid, the top casing can be taken off easily to allow peripherals connected to the board, i think there is some room to place a fan as well. The casing won't slide easily when place on top of slippery surface due to the rubber at the bottom casing.
I managed to power up the Pi 3 as well, overall i did feel the startup speed improves compared to Pi 2, but based on my one day experience with Pi 3, generally i would say performance won't be a lot faster compared to Pi 2, maybe until we got a x64 raspbian available then we can know for sure. =)
Hope you enjoy the post! Thank you for reading!
