Remember when computer magazines shipped with dozens of software or freeware programs? Well MagPi Magazine is shipping with an entire Raspberry Pi Zero computer. Usually available for US $5.00, this mini computer is ideal for teaching students to code as well as for running various flavours of Linux and even playing games. The Pi Zero is the latest in a line of affordable computers that began selling for around $35 in 2012. Hit jump for specs.
Raspberry Pi Zero runs Raspbian and all your favourite applications, including Scratch, Minecraft and Sonic Pi. It is available today in the UK from our friends at element14, The Pi Hut and Pimoroni, and in the US from Adafruit and in-store at your local branch of Micro Center. We’ve built several tens of thousands of units so far, and are building more, but we expect demand to outstrip supply for the next little while.
