A British engineering firm has unveiled its latest computer - a super-slim 6.5cm long machine costing just 15. <\/p>\n
The Raspberry Pi Model A+ is described as \"small, energy-efficient and crazy-affordable\" way to get into computing. <\/p>\n
Smaller than a credit card, and not much thicker, the Model A+ has a 700Mhz processor and 256mb of RAM. <\/p>\n
It weighs just 23g and has been designed for watching hi-def video, programming, playing games and web browsing. <\/p>\n
The tiny computer has a HDMI socket to connect to a monitor or TV and a USB socket for plugging a keyboard lead or mouse into. <\/p>\n
There is also an audio jack, room to plug in an SD card and a micro-USB socket. <\/p>\n
The Model A+ is made by Raspberry Pi, a Cambridge-based charity, which is selling the computer online for just ($20) 15. <\/p>\n
James Adams, director of hardware engineering, said: \"We want to get them into the hands of children so they can learn about computers and programming. <\/p>\n
\"Parents might not want to let children play about on computers but this gives them access to technology at an affordable price. <\/p>\n
