The Raspberry Pi is a small single-board computer (SBC) developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It supposes to promote the teaching of computer science, programming for kids and in developing countries. The new Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ comes with 1.4GHz clock speed, 5GHz wireless networking and improved thermals of Raspberry Pi 3B+ in a smaller form factor. It costs $25.
The primary goal of Raspberry PI is to make computing affordable to all. They have the high-end model that costs $35 which was released in March 2018 ( see Raspberry PI 3 model B+ Released: Complete specs and pricing).
