The $5 Computer: Raspberry Pi Zero
Recently Raspberry Pi launched their latest computer called Raspberry Pi Zero, a 5$ computer which promises to change the way even Raspberry devices are used. It is possibly the cheapest computer hardware available in the market and pushes computing costs to a new low.
It features an 1Ghz, Single-core CPU with 512MB RAM. It has a mini HDMI and USB On-The-Go ports, and is powered by Micro USB power. It also features a HAT-compatible 40-pin header and composite video and reset headers.

We have been following the Raspberry Pi computer devices for a long time now. The latest was a Raspberry Pi B which was released sometime back (with a new official case and a new way to make it a tablet!), and while the Raspberry Pi zero is more powerful than the Raspberry Pi A+, it is a shade less powerful than the Raspberry Pi 2.
In fact the Raspberry Pi Zero is so cheap that they circulated free devices with the latest MagPi magazine! The whole ecosystem of raspberry pi accessories are now available in the market. It has become the favourite of DIY lovers who like to use this cheaper computers to hack small projects and create new uses for the device.
With a low-cost, Raspberry Pi Zero promises to enthuse even more enthusiasts to experiment with it. Right now the demand is so much, it seems to be sold out everywhere.
Looking forward to new releases of computers sticks also. Chromebits are also around the corner.
A mini computer with only 5 $ will be a great thing. I would love to have it.

The raspberry pi is an awesome line of micro-computers and is great for both people with a low income and as a component to power your low power projects. I like how the price of this model is so low.

Excellent device to the people who needs a cheap and functonal PC. It’s amazing when someone want do something to help other people. This can be a milestone for the computer industry
Rapid advancements in technology make it possible.
This is crazy! As he says the cost used to be prohibitive for some people to get into computers. At this price it just opens up so much possibility. I totally missed the give-away on the magazine, but I’m going to get a PiZero!

This article made me laugh so hard because i clearly remember the banner in Karachi which stating that “buy Computer Rs 100 / Kg.” Means USD 1 / Kg.
Honestly, I have never used Raspbery Pi but everyone is talking about it.
This is great thing if I can on example run a small backup server (with linux) on it :) ?
Does it have WiFi? Or Lan?
Thanks in advance for your answer
I use Raspberry Pi, for research & developement. I am a big fan of it. Thanks for update

I like the power consumption of PiZero, it’s much lower than other pi’s.
