Miniature PC packs a big punch
Monday, May 9, 2011
We are always looking out for smaller yet capable computers for our projects, and this newest offering by [David Braben] is looking mighty nice.  [David] is the head of a UK-based games studio, but has recently been  focusing on bringing small, affordable PCs to classrooms around the  world.
The computer, called Raspberry Pi,  is about the size of your  standard USB thumb drive and contains a 700 MHz ARM 11 processor as well  as 128 MB of memory. It has an HDMI port which can display 1080p video  on any compatible screen, along with a USB port for input peripherals.  Mass storage is provided courtesy of an on-board SD card slot, and it  looks like the ability to utilize add-on modules will be available as  well.
There is sure to be no shortage of willing buyers if [David] is able  to bring these computers to market within a reasonable timeframe. With a  projected cost of about $25, this will certainly give the OLPC and  others a run for their money.
Thanks to everyone who sent this story in… all of you. You can stop  now… please. (don’t stop sending us tips, we’re just joking around)
