The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B is the second generation Raspberry Pi. It replaced the original Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ in February 2015. Compared to the Raspberry Pi 1 it has:
Ø A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU
Ø 1GB RAM
Like the (Pi 1) Model B+, it also has:
Ø 4 USB ports
Ø 40 GPIO pins
Ø Full HDMI port
Ø Ethernet port
Ø Combined 3.5mm audio jack and composite video
Ø Camera interface (CSI)
Ø Display interface (DSI)
Ø Micro SD card slot

Because it has an ARMv7 processor, it can run the full range of ARM GNU/Linux distributions, including Snappy Ubuntu Core, as well as Microsoft Windows 10 .
The Raspberry Pi 2 has an identical form factor to the previous (Pi 1) Model B+ and has complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1.
We recommend the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B for use in schools: it offers more flexibility for learners than the learner (Pi 1) Model A+,which is more useful for embedded projects and projects which require very low power.
