Builder PiPada is the enemy of commercial tablets because they are too expensive in his opinion, absolutely closed for modifications, and to make matters worse they all look the same. Castor decided, therefore, that he will build the perfect device for you.

For this purpose, use the Raspberry Pi, which is a computer with a credit card sized, which costs $ 35. It is an extremely efficient machine, but copes with a modified Linux software support, web pages or playing video – even in 1080p. Moreover, in a wooden housing were battery with a capacity of 10,000 mAh, WiFi, a few USB ports, headphone and microSD card slot. Above all towers and 10-inch screen.

Builder admitted that build PiPada cost him $ 350., whereby the smaller amount could buy an iPad or Android tablet. However, such a solution would be far too simple.
