PINE A64 – Single Board Super Computer

I backed the PINE A64 on Kickstarter in January 2016, a project that raised US$1,731,466 from 36,781 backers. I chose the US$29 reward, paying about US$41 with shipping for the PINE A64+ with 2GB RAM, a cheap single-board computer.

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a no-frills mini computer costing US$25 or US$35. Credit-card sized, it plugs into your TV and keyboard, and handles much of what a desktop does, from spreadsheets and word processing to games, and plays HD video.
