CHIP $9 Computer
This video reviews the CHIP single board computer which I purchased from the Next Thing Co in late 2016. In 2017 the CHIP was discontinued, and in March 2018 Next Thing Co entered bankrupty. So the CHIP is no longer available.
If you are looking for a low-cost single board computer today, I would recommend obtaining a Raspberry Pi Zero W, which I review in this video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNyvmnGoSKY — and which has an RRP of $10.

the raspberry pi has more accessories
how powerful this pc would be compare to the 1996 computer
Terrific innovation and handy too. That will hide in my brief case and won’t have to be separately handled thru security at the airport! 😀
too bad you can’t game on them
I wish they had made the flasher a publicly downloadable application, I sooooo miss having my pocket chip in my pocket all the time.
But can it run Crysis?
Blessings to you Chris. Great Video and Content. Always smart & humble 🏄
Interesting to note you have to use Google Chrome to update the chip but they ship with Firefox. Before anyone says anything yes I know you need a second machine to do the update from.
say hi to batman for me
This appears to be the same if not similar for double the cost https://shop.pocketchip.co/collections/frontpage/products/c-h-i-p-new

More functions then an iPhone?
Iceweasel is basically Debian firefox without the Mozilla branding, just less bulk in other words.
Cheap Chip. I spend daily more on my KFC buckets. I think is worth every penny (the Cheap Chip but also the KFC, is helping me with my cholesterol and fat on the belly).
Rip CHIP! 🙁

Is there an SDK for controlling / switching adapters for home control purposes?
I felt kinda cheated on that it wasn’t fitted into an ACTUAL matchbox…
Raspberry pi zero is still cheaper than this off course without Wi-Fi capabilities
Cheap CHIP 😀
*What advantage or disadvantage can I get from Raspberry Pi compared to this cool $9 PC?*
Nice video, thanks.
Does it connect to Cr 10s pro
Hi
No fan?
my issue with the raspi 0 is that it only sells in $30 starter kits
oh no, this is with nand but bankrupty 🙁
will you give me this computer as a gift?
Don’t panic it will run skyrim
hi sir, If I want to connect with vga cable???
I kept trying to buy this, it was never in stock… and never will be. Bankrupt.
Seems that this thing has returned – but at double the price: https://www.amazon.com/Next-Thing-Co-C-H-I-P-Single-Board/dp/B07HJHV4Z1
Since Next Thing Co is now busted, what’s the closest alternative? I’ve got a custom buildroot image that boots into RPi2 in < 4 seconds, but I am looking for booting within 1 second. So booting off an SD card won’t work, and neither will Broadcom’s proprietary security ROM that adds to the boot time. I don’t need HDMI, just UART and GPIOs.
But can it run Crysis?
In response to many questions, note that the HDMI DIP includes connections (pads and holes) that allow the user to solder on more pins to duplicate the XIO (GPIO) and some of the other connectors taken up when the HDMI DIP is fitted.
This company went belly up in 2017
Is there such thing as negative ohms?
Aaaaaaand it’s gone!
Too bad it was discontinued =/
wonderful toy
Love your vids but please get a better intro song! Lol.
Puppy os
So no youtube or video playback
I ordered two of these during the kickstarter and NEVER GOT THEM.
Really a great value
Why does this keep showing up-they took the money and ran
