Entry-level desktop machine for $35
Raspberry Pi – Everything you need to know
The original Raspberry Pi was a fascinating little machine. It was originally created as an affordable system for young people to learn to code on. Completely accessible and risk-free compared to fiddling around with the family computer. You can’t create a new generation of programmers without instilling a desire to play and tinker.
The team of people behind that device, however, could not have imagined what it would become. The first Pi also became the darling of the maker scene. We saw thousands of projects that modified the Pi to function as anything you could imagine.
Combined with an Arduino, the sky was the limit. And best of all, it was the perfect low-cost computer for students on a budget. Especially those living in parts of the world where the average income wouldn’t allow them to afford anything better. For about $35, plus a cheap keyboard and mouse, you could turn any old TV into a desktop PC.
