New Low Prices!
If you have seen the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B but don't have any requirement for the extra processing power, here is some fantastic news: The Raspberry Pi Model B+ now costs just $25, giving you even better value for money. If you don't need the Ethernet port and are happy with just a single USB, then the smaller, lighter, Model A+ is probably your best option, and it still costs just $20.
You might remember that, in the beginning, the Raspberry Pi was marketed as the $25 computer, but it was not until the Model A was released that this was true. Now, they've managed to beat that original low price. The cheapest places to get your hands on a Raspberry Pi in the UK seems to be RS Components (http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/processor-microcontroller-development-kits/8111284/). In the United States, take a look at MCM Electronics (http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/raspberry-pi).
