C.H.I.P. vs Pi Zero: Which Sub-$10 Computer Is Better?

Both the $9 C.H.I.P and the newest, stripped-down Raspberry Pi model have plusses and minuses, but to make either one actually useful takes some additional hardware; at their low prices, it’s not surprising that neither one comes with so much as a case. The two make different trade-offs, despite being just a few dollars apart in ticket price. C.H.I.P. comes with built-in storage that rPi lacks, for instance, but the newest Pi, like it’s forebears, has built in HDMI output. Make’s upshot?

The cost of owning either a C.H.I.P. or a Pi is a bit more money than the retail cost of the boards. Peripherals such as a power cable, keyboard, mouse, and monitor are necessary to accomplish any computer task on either of the devices. But it turns out the $5 Raspberry Pi Zero costs significantly more to operate than the Next Thing Co. C.H.I.P.

and both can connect to internet 

For me C.H.I.P. is better than Pi Zero because C.H.I.P. can be connected to internet on it's own, unlike Pi Zero.
