The Raspberry Pi Model B was originally released in 2012 (and was the 1st SBC I ever purchased!) so it's not going to be lighting up the results tables compared to the  current flagship, the <a href="/1-raspberry-pi-5-8gb">Raspberry Pi 5</a> but it still has a solid place in the ecosystem. It's perfect for low-power (both in terms of power draw, and performance required) applications and I'm still using it for Pi-Hole after all these years.
