Raspberry Pi has unveiled its latest device - the Raspberry Pi Zero. It is a tiny programmable computer that sells for just $5.The recent version of the popular computer is even smaller than previous editions - just 6.5cm by 3cm.

Despite its tiny size, it features a Broadcom BCM2835 chip processor, including a 1GHz ARM11 core, that has been "upclocked" making it 40 per cent faster than the Raspberry Pi 1.

The chip also offers 512MB of RAM, along with a micro-SD slot, mini-HDMI to plug it into a display, and micro-USB for power. It runs Raspbian, a version of the Linux operating system built for the Raspberry devices.
