Exploring the tiny $9 C.H.I.P. computer
Conclusion
Can a computer be lovable? If so, the C.H.I.P. is it. Everything about the C.H.I.P. is cute and quaint, from its tiny form factor, to its smiley logo, to the nostalgic process of hooking it up to an analog TV. The Pocket C.H.I.P. has also got a nice retro air about it.
But, at the same time, the C.H.I.P. is amazingly well-equipped. It is incredibly powerful for its size, plus it comes with WiFi, Bluetooth, and dozens of programmable input/output pins.
Any maker worth his or her salt should invest the mere $9 asking price for the remarkable and versatile little C.H.I.P.
