The Raspberry Pi Zero – a tiny $5 computer – has sold out just 24 hours after it was released by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. There were 200,000 units made and 10,000 "MagPi" magazines (with a free Zero unit) released – all of which have already been purchased.

"You'd think we'd be used to it by now, but we're always amazed by the level of interest in new Raspberry Pi products," Eben Upton, founder of the Raspberry Pi foundation told WIRED.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation produces tiny and affordable computers that can be used to educate children and adults about computer programming. Among other Raspberry Pi products, the Pi Zero is the tiniest computer in the lineup.

The Raspberry Pi Zero is a tiny computer at 65 mm x 30 mm x 5 mm. It comes with a single-core 1 GHz Broadcom BCM2835 processor and 512 MB of RAM. The Pi Zero is 40 percent faster than the Raspberry Pi 1.

For ports, there is a microSD card slot, a mini HDMI output, and two USB ports for data and power. It also comes with HAT-compatible 40-pin header for composite video and reset headers.

The Pi Zero computer runs the Linux-based Raspbian operating system and already comes with several applications including Scratch, Minecraft, and Sonic Pi.

Head of communications Liz Upton announced that there would be more Zeros produced as long as there is a demand for it. She warned customers about purchasing from scalpers online that sell their products at a premium price.

In the U.S., Raspberry Pi Zero was being sold online by Adafruit but is now out of stock. Computer techs wanting to purchase the tiny computer should wait for the arrival of "The MagPi Magazine" set to arrive at Barnes& Noble and Micro Center branches in about three weeks. The official Raspberry Pi magazine will come with a free Zero computer on the cover.
