CHIP (CHIP) is a new mini computerwith powerful hardware. Its price is really ridiculous since it will cost only 9 dollars, not to mention the fact that it is incredibly small.
The CHIP computer is actually much smaller than Raspberry Pi 2, and it has the same potential (some of its features are outdated).
It is difficult to imagine how the CHIP leaders have managed to offer so many features with such a small device, but as you can see from their photos and statements they probably did.
In a mini PC, you can connect a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse, once the operating system system included. CHIP, however, also has some additional new features, such as built-in controllers for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. These last two features are very serious and are absent from the Raspberry Pi.
CHIP developers are currently looking for funding to enable them to mass-produce the project.
"THE CHIP it's a computer for students, teachers, grandparents, kids, artists, makers, hackers, and inventors. For everyone really. CHIP is a great way to bring a computer into your life and the perfect way to power your computer. At 1GHz and with 512MB of DDR3 RAM, the CHIP is powerful enough to run its software, and handle the demands of a full GUI. Best of all, CHIP runs Linux...", says Ms presentation of the project on Kickstarter.
The fact that it comes with a 1Ghz processor, 512MB DDRAM3, and 4GB storage makes it ideal for too many functions. It can be used as a regular computer, as a multimedia center, and many more. Prospects are endless.
To make things even more interesting, the CHI leaders also provide a unique one LiPo battery which can power the device for hours and can be charged through it. This means the device can be portable.
For more details on this awesome mini PC (runs Debian, by default, others work and others distributions), you can see his page at Kickstarter.
