C.H.I.P. computer for US$9 even has 4GB of onboard storage Really not sure how they can sell a single board computer like this for only $9. It's not for high end work and is more of a competitor to the Raspberry Pi, but has a 1Ghz CPU (ARMv7 Processor), WiFi B/G/N and Bluetooth 4.0 Built-in, 512 MB of RAM, has composite video output (but you can add an adapter for VGA for $10 or HDMI for $15), and will run Linux (already installed). It will run of a 2 Amp 5V power supply (most phone chargers with a mini-USB plug). What I like about this little device is that it uses composite video and sound output for the $9 price. That means it can be connected to most old TV sets, and with its built-in 4GB storage, it can be booted up and used as a basic computer. Yes it needs a keyboard and mouse but those can be obtained very cheaply. Televisions are the most commonly available screen in the world and the vast majority of them have a composite input.
