The Raspberry Pi Model B+ is said to have added connectivity and power features to enable bigger and better projects.

Advanced power management and enhanced connectivity make it possible to power four USB accessories, such as a 2.5″ hard drive, through the device. Up to 1.2 A can be delivered to the USB ports to connect power-hungry devices and accessories without needing mains power or an external USB hub.

The product is powered by micro USB with AV connections through either HDMI or a four-pole connector replacing the existing analog audio and composite video ports. The SD card slot has been replaced with a micro-SD, tidying up the board design and helping to protect the card from damage. The board also now uses less power (600 mA) than the Model B Board (750 mA) when running.
