The Raspberry Pi is a cheap (at $35) microcomputer series from the UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom that's supposed to teach anyone how to code -- a SpiritualSuccessor to the Platform/BBCMicro. (It even has Models A and B just like the Micro.) The low cost is achieved by selling ''nothing'' but the computer itself, not even a casing, but including standard ports that let the user plug in an off-the-shelf keyboard, storage, and a domestic TV as a monitor. The idea is to promote a strong do-it-yourself ethos.
First launched in 2012, it has sold lots of units around the world, making it one of the bestselling general purpose computers ever, selling more in 6 years than the Platform/Commodore64 did in its lifetime. As of 2015, it's the best-selling British computer in history, having outsold the previous record holder, the Platform/ZXSpectrum.

Raspberry Pi qualifies as a Platform if anything does.

As of 2015, it's the best-selling British computer in history, having outsold the previous record holder, the Platform/ZXSpectrum.
It can also be used as a video game console via [=RetroPie=] emulation, allowing you to play games from the Platform/Atari2600 to the Platform/PlaystationPortable.
The computer supports many operating systems, such as an "Internet of Things" version of Windows 10, although the most common is Raspberry Pi OS, a version of Debian built for use with the system.
Over the years, various versions of the Pi have been launched:
* '''Raspberry Pi [[MyHeroZero Zero]]''': A stripped down model that costs $5 and has 1GHz of processing power (akin to how the BBC Micro's Model B was released in a stripped-down model called the Acorn Electron). The Zero W has built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth while the Zero WH has a pre-soldered GPIO header.
* '''Raspberry Pi 400''': Introduced in 2020, it is a version of the 4GB Raspberry Pi 4 concealed inside a keyboard like the 1980s computers it was inspired by and featuring a faster CPU.
* '''Raspberry Pi Pico''': Less of a computer and more of a microcontroller, it allows for programming on microcontroller languages like [[UsefulNotes/{{Python}} MicroPython]] and C.
