The CHIP will actually offered $ 9 when he arrives on the market. For that price, do not expect a lightning war, of course.


The machine will ship as a processor running at 1GHz, with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. It will therefore approach many of Raspberry Pi B + for his part proposed that a 700 MHz processor and 512 MB of RAM.

However, CHIP has some tricks up his sleeve over his main rival. Besides its ridiculously low selling price, it actually has the good sense to integrate a module combining a Bluetooth chip and a WiFi chip.

It will not be necessary to buy an additional module to connect to the home router or even a mouse.

On the sidelines, the builder will also sell various accessories, including a PocketCHIP combining a 4.3-inch touchscreen, a QWERTY keyboard and a battery giving five hours of autonomy to the machine.

Thanks to him, it will be possible to turn the computer into a real small portable console.

It will also offer several adapters to allow us to connect the machine to a screen in VGA or even HDMI.


CHIP based on an open platform, with more than 1 000 applications to the key. If you feel like it, you also can use it in your own projects, of course.

This funny little machine is not yet commercially available. Its designers chose to launch a campaign on KickStarter to start. They have raised over $ 600 000 in the space of a few days, and even though they only needed $ 50 000 to start production of the unit.
