Of course, recently computers have fallen in price greatly, but English game developer David Braben * lowered the bar to a record level. The Raspberry Pi subminiature computer created by him will be sold at a price of only $ 25.

This is a full-fledged general-purpose computer for Ubuntu 9, with a 700 MHz ARM11 processor, 128 MB SDRAM, support for OpenGL ES 2.0 and USB 2.0, composite and HDMI video outputs, and a general-purpose I / O port to which you can connect, for example, a video camera.

A television or monitor, keyboard, network adapter is connected to such a PC - and you can work normally, including on the Internet. A 16 GB SD / MMC / SDIO flash drive and processor power is enough for most tasks, even for watching 1080p30 H.264 video. The software package for Ubuntu includes a browser, KOffice office software, as well as Python, Iceweasel, etc.

To promote computers of the new format, David Braben headed the non-profit organization Raspberry Pi Foundation. Perhaps he expects that his model can choose the UN for delivery to third world countries under the OLPC program.

* David Braben is also known as the developer of the iconic Elite computer game, which was very popular in the 1980s.
