My favourite will always be the C.H.I.P. by Next Thing Co[1].
I still have one. They were priced towards 9 dollars, had on-board bluetooth and wifi when the Pi didn't and was significantly smaller. Sadly the company couldn't make it work. They also had a "Pocket C.H.I.P." which was a small display and keyboard you could plug your C.H.I.P. in.
Some company did buy their work and is planning to sell the boards and some variants as as the Popcorn Computer, but it has lost quite a lot of its charm.[2]

- pi-rat 3y agoThose were great. I turned one of mine into a 4G enabled garage opener some years ago, battery backup and everything. Was a real pain to find an archive of the flashing utility and images.
- Levitating 3y agoThere's a discord[1] where people can point you to the old flashing utilities and images. Some of the old members of NTC are around as well. [1]: https://discord.gg/kq8GknJzrZ https://discord.gg/kq8GknJzrZ
