Low-cost computer for the kids
Feb 13, 2021

Total cost: S$192.8 ($145 or ~₱7,000)
Components:
Dell 22" Touchscreen Monitor S2240T - S$66


Raspberry Pi 400 - S$113


Micro HDMI to HDMI - S$7

SanDisk microSD 32GB - S$6.80

The USB-C PD adaptor I use is from my broken RPi4 so it's free.
The S2240T also comes with an audio out jack where I use my old ATH-M50. You can also use a bluetooth speaker with the Raspberry Pi 400.
I installed Raspbian OS then ScummVM to play point-and-click adventure games (perfect for the touchscreen monitor).
The games you can get here or here. Enjoy!
I previously explored an even more ambitious concept—a $25 online learning computer for students in developing regions.
