The board comes with quad-core, 64-bit ARM processor and 1GB of RAM. With the latest Dual Band WiFi, Bluetooth and fast speed Ethernet port, it is capable of streaming video and running complex AI algorithm. We recommend this model because it is the most popular among other models, most of the example is based on this size

This is smaller size of Model B+ (above), taken out the Ethernet port and left with one USB 2.0 port. Yet, it is lower cost and 3A+ comes with same quad-core, 64-bit processor running 1.4GHz. Not to forget the same dual band WiFi and Bluetooth are build in too. It is becoming popular as IoT hub or server.

3. Raspberry Pi Zero W
This is the world most compact single board computer, with the on board WiFi and Bluetooth Wireless connectivity, it is suitable as controller for many IoT related projects.

How does the Raspberry Pi work

A micro SD card inserted into the slot on the board acts as the hard drive for the Raspberry Pi. It is powered by micro USB and the video output can be hooked up to a monitor, or a TV using the HDMI port.- https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/tech/computers/what-is-the-raspberry-pi
