Hackboard 2 is a new single-board computer (SBC) designed from the ground up to be one of the most powerful and affordable Windows-capable, Intel-based computers ever. With optional 4G or 5G connectivity, it is ideal for students, teachers, families, makers, and hobbyists alike. Unlike the Raspberry Pi, Hackboard 2 is based on a powerful Intel processor capable of running Windows. Unlike other Intel-based SBCs, Hackboard 2 is incredibly affordable.
Hackboard is a reliable, high-performance platform that is well suited to a large and diverse set of possible projects, including:
The standard version of Hackboard 2 comes preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro, a full-featured version of Windows that retails for more than the price of Hackboard 2 itself. It also comes preinstalled with the powerful Python programming language for accessing Hackboard 2’s GPIO.
A version of Hackboard 2 that is preinstalled with Ubuntu Linux is also available. The hardware is identical — it just comes with Linux instead of Windows.
Hackboard 2 has the following high-level features:
