The UK-based educational nonprofit released a new, tiny computer on
Thursday for $5, the Raspberry Pi Zero, and sold out of it online within
a day.
Raspberry Pi even gave away 10,000 devices for free with a copy of its December magazine, The MagPi. Issues of the magazine are now sold out too.
The Raspberry Pi Zero is smaller than a mustard packet and light.
To use it, you'll have to add your own monitor, keyboard, power source and data storage, via a micro-SD card slot.
It has 1-GHz processor and 512 megabytes of RAM, it packs as much computing power as the iPhone 4. There's even a mini-HDMI socket so you can play HD videos.
The Pi Zero, priced at just £4 (or $5), is essentially just a cheaper and smaller version of the Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+. It has the same Broadcom SoC (but the CPU is clocked at 1GHz rather than 700MHz) and lacks a 3.5mm audio jack, but is otherwise almost identical. The main difference, of course, is the price, the Pi Zero is about a third of the price of a Model A+.
