One for the pocket!

With the sizes slimming down, it is certainly not a huge surprise that we have a Chip sized computer amidst us. What is really astonishing is the fact that this chip sized computer costs only $9 and can do literally everything for you. The Chip as it has been named runs on Linux and includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well.

The Chip comes with a 1GHz processor, 512 RAM and a storage of 4GB. In fact, you can easily load a lighter version of Debian on it. All of this at just $9 makes the Chip – $19 with the VGA adapter and $24 with the HDMI adapter – certainly one of the most interesting computers on hand. You can easily add PockectChip to it, allowing your small computer to have its own touch panel and a keyboard. The good thing is that you can always add on various features to the Chip.

Products in the $500-800 range for smartphones and tablets begin to make me pay greater attention as far as how many I really need.

I know some people who see a need for a smartphone, a tablet and a laptop.

My goal is to narrow it down to only 2 devices.
