The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer board that plugs into a TV and a keyboard. It’s a miniature ARM-based PC which can be used for many of the things that a desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays High-Definition video. Available in two versions; Model A and Model B. This is an open-source product designed to be supported by Internet-based user forums.
