INTRODUCTION
The Raspberry pi is a credit card sized computer that plugs into your TV and keyboard.Its a capable little pc which can be used for many of the things that your desktop pc does,like spreadsheets, word-processing,plays high-definition videos and games.It is mainly aimed at kids to help them learn programming.

RASPBERRY PI

RASPBERRY PI IS
a $35 computer that can get kids coding. a micro-controller for hobbyists.

a platform for developing design solutions..

and much more!

FEATURES
The Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor. It uses an SD card for booting and long.-term storage. It weighs about 45gms. Size:85.60 mm 53.98 mm (3.370 in 2.125 in). Power source : 5 volt via MicroUSB or GPIO header Available in two models.

LIMITATIONS OF PI
For something that costs so little, the Raspberry Pi is amazingly powerful, but it does have some limitations. Although you probably use it as a desktop computer, its power is closer to a mobile device (like a tablet) than a modern desktop PC. It is comparable to intel pentium 2 processor. The memory of the Raspberry Pi is more limited than youre probably used to, with just 512MB or 256MB available. You cant expand that with extra memory in the way you can a desktop PC. The graphics capabilities lag behind todays market somewhat too.

CONCLUSION
Raspberry pi is not a fix to all of the worlds computing issues but it will be a catalyst. It can work as a personal computer, but cannot replace it. As it is cheap, accessible, programmable computers are affordable.
