The Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools. (source: wikipedia)

But I thought a MacBook Pro was the best for live visuals...

...And it's also very precious, so leave it home when performing for that no budget warehouse rave party...
Just bring this tiny and cheap computer and show you can do more with less!
