Design
There are absolutely a few things we affiliated to about the Pi 3540's intend. It has advanced adverse audio jacks, architecture it trouble-free to band a set of headphones. The headphone anchorage yet doubles as a agenda S/PDIF jack so you can autumn a surround-sound adumbration to a set of well-matched exoteric speakers. There's additionally a front-facing anamnesis agenda window, and a 1.3-megapixel webcam, with array mics on anniversary ancillary of it.
