Raspberry Pi–An Amazing Credit Card-Sized Computer!

Raspberry Pi is a small, compact, credit-card sized wonder computer. It works by plugging into your television and a keyboard. It has a Linux's Fedora software and a 512MB RAM. Some of its other features include a HDMI, Ethernet, and two USB ports. It features everything a traditional computer includes like games, spreadsheets, word processor, etc. It can play high quality, clear, and loud videos. The device is based on the Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip that features an amazing ARM1176JZF-S 700MHZ processor. It can be loaded with a variety of special purpose Linux distros and performs amazing tasks, for e.g., flying a drone, speech recognition, streaming media to a TV, and much more. The device is simple to operate and comes at a jaw-dropping low cost. It is low on power as it consumes a mere 2 Watts.

Raspberry Pi has a über cool and attractive design. The board of the mini computer is quite solid and feels really strong. Its only drawback is that it is limited to hobbyists and enthusiasts who have a technical bent of mind. The device entirely relies on an SD card for long term storage and booting as it lacks a built-in hard disk or a solid state drive. The device is an excellent platform where anyone can learn to program. It is extremely light and portable, weighing just 45 grams. It has a 3.5mm audio jack, is powered from a microUSB socket, and has a maximum clock frequency of 700MHz. A VideoCore 4 graphic processing unit (GPU) makes it an even more lucrative buy.
