CHIP (stylised as C.H.I.P.) is a personal single-board computer created by Next Thing Co., released on Kickstarter. It is advertised as "the world's first $9 computer", and currently in alpha test. It only provides support for a composite video display, but, borrowing a page from Arduino’s playbook, there are options for VGA ($10) and HDMI ($15) “shields” that plug on top of CHIP for higher-resolution video output.
