The initial manufacturing run will focus on the \u201cB\u201d model, the higher end R283.20 model. The following manufacturing run will produce the \u201cA\u201d model which is set to retail for $25 (R202.28). The \u201cA\u201d model will ship with 128MB of RAM and lacks hardware features like an Ethernet controller.<\/p>\n<p>The Pi can be plugged into a television via the on-board RCA and HDMI outputs, and input devices can plug in via a USB port.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full story at: <a title=\"Ars Technica News site\" href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/news\/2012\/01\/raspberry-pis-35-700mhz-linux-computer-enters-manufacturing.ars\" target=\"_blank\">Ars Technica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manufacturing of the sub R300 Raspberry Pi Linux computer has begun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":28406,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[1799,8043],"class_list":["post-41123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-linux","tag-raspberry-pi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41123"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41125,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41123\/revisions\/41125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
