It comes with a pre-installed Debian based LINUX operating system, and it is classified as ready to use. There are plenty of pre-installed applications and games that you can use. Keeping in mind the portability, you can use it in any way you like. You can use it as a smartphone with the help of PocketCHIP or use it as a desktop computer by connecting with a Screen and plugging in a keyboard or even play video games with the help of the Bluetooth connection.
The pocketCHIP appears like an old Gameboy advance having a 4.3-inch touch screen and 3.0 mAH battery enough for a five-hour experience. Overall, the usage is good, and it can fulfill the project requirements of high schoolers and even university students up to some extent. The project is currently looking for funding via Kickstarter, and an initial pledge of 9$ will be able to get your hands on the CHIP only. The accessories and other extras will amount to 49 $. Considering the number of confirmed orders, early bidders would be able to get their hands on CHIP by December this year.
