They say that good things come in small packages, but the concept does not always seem to apply in technology. Computers with impressive processing power tend to be bigger machines, big screen TVs cost only ten cents, and even bigger smartphones are making their comeback.

One of the few technological marvels to defy this trend is the Linux VoCore2 mini computer, an open source Linux computer that seduces despite its tiny size. At the present time, you can get one for $ 42.99.

Operating both as a computer and a handyman toy, this small machine has endless use cases. You can choose to use it as a VPN gateway to secure your network, such as a private cloud to store your essential data, such as a personal assistant (just connect it to Siri or Echo) or as a music streaming station continuously. You can even connect a USB webcam to turn it into a home security camera. If you decide to improve its features, you just need to introduce C, Java, Python, Ruby or JavaScript to get started. Usually $ 50, the computer costs only $ 42.99 here in the Mashable store.

Now, if you want to easily visualize your programming, you can get the VoCore2 Mini Linux Computer Kit, which includes a room-sized computer and a display that you can configure anywhere. The package normally sells for $ 79.80, but you can get it for only $ 69.
