I recently received my order of the C.H.I.P. This $9 Linux computer is smaller than the palm of your hand. It comes as a small board with a Linux capable micro-processor and full WiFi and Bluetooth support with USB and analog video. The company also gives add-ons for VGA and HDMI ports that can be attached. What’s cool is that the start up time for the board is less than 5 mins. All you need is a TV, or any monitor with analog input will do, along with a power supply and a USB keyboard and mouse. That’s it. Just plug in the power and it boots up. What’s even cooler is that the board already has a GUI based Linux installation on board. It is enough to browse the web, watch videos and play music.
So, did you getChip?
