Raspberry Pi



This tiny device, about the size of a cell phone and costing only $35, is actually a computer with 256Mb RAM.  You need to provide a case to make it more rugged, and then just plug in your mouse, keyboard, power supply, ethernet connection and monitor.  Instead of a hard-drive, it has an SD card, just like on a cell phone.  The operating system is Raspbian, a version of Linux.



It is not a replacement for a PC or a laptop yet, but if I were Microsoft or Intel, I would be very scared.
