Create your own cyberdeck - Raspberry Pi
www.raspberrypi.com
A hacker’s rite of passage is creating their own cyberdeck. This guide will help you build one from parts.

It’s obviously not the most impressive cyberdeck but it’s pretty cool for this to be on raspberry pi’s official blog.

Also, the latest issue of the Raspberry Pi Official Magazine is all about cyberdecks.

    Pi is dead. $300 for just the board is ridiculous. You can build a cheaper and faster cyberdeck by cannibalizing a Chromebook and installing Linux.

      Yes except…

      https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?fq=brand%3ARaspberry+Pi

      Pi 5, 16GB RAM - $279 USD
      Pi 5, 8GB RAM - $169 USD
      Pi 5, 1 GB RAM - $43 USD

      You make it sound like there’s no way to spend less, especially for a project like a cyberdeck running linux.

      And to @[email protected] , they didn’t get bought – they split up the training and learning non-profit part of the business from the product sales for profit side of the business. Call that what you like but to me, it was OK. I think they’re still doing what they can to serve the need for their super educational SBCs around the world.

      Maybe cut them some slack, ppl.

        I clicked the link and at $279 pi5 isn’t there. I checked separately and those prices aren’t there. Maybe it’s an in store special at your particular Microcenter?

        But even at $279, it’s still ridiculous given you still need a hsf, power supply, screen, keyboard, and battery to be equivalent to a cannibalized Chromebook.

      No way those things cost $300. They were like $50 tho I haven’t looked at any in a while. Maybe I need to sell my old pi3 and pi4 and make a buck
