Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “C.H.I.P.: The World’s First Nine Dollar Computer”.
I’M gustavo i’m the hardware guy at next thing, co and we are working on chip uh, the world’s first nine dollar computer chip runs a flavor of debbie and linux, and that lets you run all sorts of programs from libreoffice to your favorite sort of game. Emulators. All sorts of things it’s a real computer. You can plug it into a monitor and do things with it.
So uh chip has video out through a composite jack in this trs port. You can also adapt it to hdmi or vga for a few bucks more. So you can plug it into a standard computer, monitor just plug it into micro, usb to power, it add a keyboard and mouse or bluetooth, keyboard and mouse, and get going so uh chip. Nine dollar computer is so cheap because we’re using the same components that are on a bunch of budget tablets, so that lets us buy in very large quantities. The chips are available, parts are available and the cost comes way down because of it.
So this is pocket chip pocket chip is the handsome companion to chip. It’S basically a monitor and keyboard that chip snaps into it adds a battery. So you can carry it around, use the wi-fi that’s on board with chip and basically do your computing anywhere. You want to go.
Response has been so positive. People are really excited about it. People are almost caught off guard like what do you mean it’s nine dollars, you know what am i gon na do with a nine dollar computer and that’s the real question that we want to ask is like yeah.
What are you gon na do with a nine dollar computer, all sorts of things all right? We love bananas. Bananas are for scale so that you know how tiny chip is. Bananas are also full of potassium and good for you, .
