A computer with Windows 10 for 120 PLN? Microsoft supports new … – Gazeta.pl

These are two great messages in one. First of all, the sale is now available a new mini-computer Raspberry Pi 2 overclocked configuration and the same price, $ 35 (approx. 120 zł). Second, the Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will not only support this platform, but also it will be free. Tiny PC with the new Windows for 120 zł? Why not?

Best ‘Do it yourself’ in the world

The Raspberry Pi is a small computer, but you do not get the price or cabinet, disk drive, keyboard, and monitor. About those things you have to take care of yourself. What it offers new Raspberry Pi 2 for $ 35 (approx. 120 zł) but definitely worth attention: quad-core processor with a clock of 900 MHz (ARM Cortex-A7) and 1 GB RAM (LPDDR2 SDRAM). It’s quite a change from the previous version, which had a single core processor with 700 MHz and 256 or 512 MB of RAM. Best toy for hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts, now offers great opportunities for the same, as far price.

As if that were not enough, Microsoft in support of the Internet of Things announced a version of Windows 10 fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2. Work on it has been ongoing for more than 6 months and ultimately be free for holders of a mini-computer, which sign up in the Windows Developer Program.

It’s not (only) toy

These two great messages perfectly summed up the head of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Eben Upton, in an interview with The Register :

Raspberry Pi PC is now sensible. Of course, you could always use 1 as the Raspberry Pi PC, but with the caveat that “it is good for the equipment for $ 35.” Now, we were able to shake off the burden leniency. Now, the Raspberry Pi is just good equipment.
