Buy a Raspberry Pi

What is Raspberry Pi? Why do you need a Raspberry Pi board? What are the advantages?

Raspberry Pi is a mini computer or a so-called Single Board Computer (or SBC in short) from the Raspberry Pi Foundation in Cambridge (GB). A single-board computer has all key components such as the processor, RAM and GPU assembled on one board.

The foundation launced its first Raspberry Pi model in 2012 with the idea to promote computer science as a subject for school and study. The main goal in achieving this was a retail price of $35 that should be affordable for everyone.

Elektor was also eager to spark early interest in computer science and electronics among school and college students. As an official Raspberry Pi reseller and at the same time publisher of the German, French and Dutch language editions of the official Raspberry Pi magazine "MagPi", Elektor has direct personal contact with the Raspberry Pi developers in Cambridge and with the actual intellectual father of the Raspberry Pi, Eben Upton. In addition to providing official Raspberry Pi hardware, Elektor also provides its customers with interesting projects, reviews, tutorials and books for specialist books. For example, Elektor has a unique position among all Raspberry Pi dealers.
