If you aren't familiar with these products, the Raspberry Pi line of computers is essentially a few different barebones PC's that are being offered at a super low price. These aren't your typical PC with a case, power supply, CPU cooler and the rest of the works, but instead it is an extremely small motherboard that features extremely low quality specs with limited features. You may now be wondering why anyone would want something like this? Well, due to the fact that they are extremely cheap, with the highest end model costing a mere $35, they are perfect for DIY projects around the house and for coding and programming purposes. They also serve as a perfect device to tamper and test things with.
It's obvious that the specifications off this computer would have had to suffer for it to be priced at a mere $5, but it isn't all as bad as one may think. It is running the same processor as the first Raspberry Pi was, but this one is even overclocked and it runs about 40% faster. It also has half a gigabyte of RAM, so 512MB and it even runs its own OS called Raspbian. The folks over at Raspberry Pi have even went ahead and said that it is able to run Minecraft. For a full list of all of the specifications, please have a look below.
