World cheapest computer already sold more than 1.5 millions
World cheapest computer weighing just below 50 grams and bearing the size of a credit card is Raspberry Pie, world’s cheapest and probably the smallest computer. What was built as a medium to educate students’ on basic computer coding has now crossed sales numbers of more than 1.5 million, reports NDTV Gadgets.
The small computer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation on the open source Linux platform is retailing for $25. So far, it has found its use in robots in Japan to the warehouse doors in Malawi, to photographing astral bodies from the United States.
According to Eben Upton, executive director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, "We're closing in on one and a half million (sales) for something that we thought would sell a thousand. It was just supposed to be a little thing to solve a little problem.”
