Title: MagPi Magazine
Post by: sheddyian on November 24, 2015, 11:49:20 PM
The official Raspberry Pi "MagPi" magazine has been available as a paid print edition in shops for a little while now (previously, and still currently, available as a free PDF download).

The Rasperrby Pi Twitter feed has been plugging the next issue and teasing as to how it's the best every..

https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/

Looking at the "reveal", what's free, do you reckon?

A free Raspberry Pi model A perhaps?  Or a GPIO pinout card?  If they are keen to boost print circulation, and have surplus stock at (relative) low cost...?

I am intrigued. 


Out on the 26th November, at newsagents etc.

The answer, I found out this morning at 7am, is a free Raspberry Pi, one of their new Pi Zero models that costs $5.
I rushed out, and managed to get one of the magazines (reportedly all sold out now)

$5 for a computer.  1Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM.  Free gift on the cover of a magazine.  Amazing times.

Are you considering making a quick profit on it?
