[Swansea Hackspace] Hackspace Digest, Vol 13, Issue 5

[Tim Moore]

I was struggling to understand what potential place it had within the range
of experimental very small computers.

As a dedicated controller PIC, Arduinio Nano, Raspberry etc all cost less
and have good support.   So what is the reason anyone would want to buy one
for £50?

Intel might have an excellent product here and my lack of knowledge has got
me curious (especially as I can't see an obvious use for it ).
