Based on the Raspberry Pi made a full netbook (+ the idea of ​​a competition)



    Raspberry Pi is a very popular mini-PC, and on its basis they are now creating various kinds of interesting projects. For example, based on a model for 35 cu (with 512 MB of RAM, Ethernet, USB, HDMI) the craftsman created a functional laptop. True, the case is not factory, but what does it change? And in the future, I think, other masters will be able to create projects in the cases of old / failed laptops. A few details are to be continued.

    A member of the Instructables resource known to many of you with the nickname SilverJimmy named his project LapPi project .

    This, as mentioned above, is a full-fledged netbook, with WiFi, Bluetooth, a keyboard, touchpad, display and batteries. There is even GPS, plus a microphone and stereo speakers. As a battery, by the way, a set of 10 rechargeable AA batteries is used. But you can use 8 ordinary AA batteries.

    I note that the netbook was created as part of the Raspberry Pi Challenge:", which was announced at the same instructables. At the same time, to my surprise, the LapPi project did not take first, but second place. Among the other winners were glasses-PCs (first place, by the way), plus a gaming coffee table, plus a smart target ", Plus Voiceberry Pi! .. There’s even a home server based on the mentioned mini-computer.

    If anyone wants to repeat the experience of the author of the project, then detailed instructions can be found here.

    By the way, and whether to declare a similar competition on Habré? Quite a lot of representatives of the Habrasociety are already owners of the Raspberry Pi. Maybe someone has already done something interesting? And if not, maybe it's worth a try?
