When I saw the news about the $9 CHIP computer project, I put in $16 anyway just for fun anyway. It arrived a few days ago. I am pretty happy about it. It runs pretty fast. The Sysbench benchmark shows it is about a few times faster than Pogo v4. It has wifi built in. Flashing is very straightforward. It is hardware based so the chance of brick is very low. The only issue I found was that the ping response is slow. Not sure if it is because the wifi or not. I think it is a nice toy to play with. It is much better than the "$5" Rpi zero, which you cannot buy for "$5" anyway.
