The
Raspberry Pi, a tiny, low-powered, inexpensive system-on-a-chip computer, has become famous as the preferred tool of DIY gadget builders and tinkerers. But thanks to its explosive success, it’s no longer the only choice on the market for cheap all-in-one gadgetry and development. If you can’t get your hands on a Pi, or you want to try something else, give these alternatives a look.
There are obviously even more options than are listed here for system-on-a-chip PCs, but we’re focusing on those that are in the same ballpark as the Raspberry Pi in terms of size and price. So we’re looking for something smaller than a Mini-ITX motherboard and under $100 USD.
