World Smallest and Cheapest CPU : Raspberry Pi 2

In past, we have big computers, size of room. But now technology is advanced now we have credit card size Computer which is faster than our old computers and 

Raspberry Pi 2?

Raspberry Pi 2 is a project of element14 and a mini computer of a credit card size with a price tag of $35 only. The project began so that every person in this world have their own personal computer. The whole computer is based on one green board and the good thing is that you can put into some small case and then in your pocket. It’s a really portable machine and now you don’t have to carry old bulky heavy size computer or even laptops with you. Just put Raspberry Pi 2 in your pocket and carry all your stuff with you.

The actual Raspberry Pi was introduced in 2012, but it was too slow and only comes with Linux operating system. But with Raspberry Pi 2 the good news is that it’s 6 times faster than its predecessor and it will run Microsoft Windows 10. On top of that Microsoft will not charge anything for it’s operating system which means that whole computer plus software will cost you only $35. This is the really amazing project and especially for people who like to surf the internet and always on the go.

Raspberry Pi 2 Specification

• A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU
• 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM
• MicroSD Card Slot
• HDMI port for connectivity
• 4 USB 3.0 ports
• 1 100MB Ethernet Port
• Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System
• One micro USB port for Charging

So a quad core processor with 1GB ram is all you need to run different apps and browse the internet smoothly. Few things to keep in mind that it’s only a motherboard type computer with hard-disk and even power supply. You have to buy your own SD card and supply power via mini USB cable or adapter. You can also buy Raspberry Pi case from Amazon which will cost you around $8 which means the whole deal will cost you around $43 which is still amazing.

In order to run the PC, you first need to burn the Windows image on your SD card and insert the card into Raspberry Pi 2. Now plug the HDMI cable with your monitor or LED TV. Plug the mouse and keyboard via USB ports. Plug in the Ethernet cable for internet access or if you have Wi-Fi- dongle then you can also attach it via USB port. Last but not least plug the power cable via you computer or from your wall socket
