qwertyuu Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'll let you discover by yourself first: 700 Mhz CPU Veru fluid 1080p playback Created for learning programming (You can C# using Mono!) Created for learning basic electronics (I love those GPIO pins) $35. Available to 99% of the population Can make kids learn programming as they are very young, leading them to very well paid jobs 2 USB Ports Ethernet port HDMI and Composite video Output Light and portable, as big as a credit card The CPU will not "heat" (it will, but it won't become hot at all) Runs on linux and the graphical desktop is available for graphical work Can link a VMWare to it, making this a portal through another computer Can be used for ULTRA LOW COST AND ENERGY server of any sort My idea is, use this as a timed switch for your PC. As soon as you are home, your PC is booted up and ready!(yea, GPIO ) Can be programmed to control a project, run a central computer unit and control the whole house with only 5v 1A Loving the Raspberry Pi, I'm going to order one AS SOON AS I CAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This looks very interesting. I wonder if it's powerful enough to teach a completely illiterate person to program...
