growing popularity of the Raspberry Pi microcomputer meant that more and more people began to look for alternatives to the use of this model. One of them was Michael Carter – created based on the “Malinka” Tablet: PiPad.
Made of birch plywood and carbon fiber body conceals a 10.1-inch display, downloading (as Raspberry Pi) only 5V, already mentioned microcomputer and a battery with a capacity of 10,000 mAh, allowing up to six hours of work. Then, simply connect the charger from the cell PiPada that he began to supplement the lack of energy in the battery. The device is made in such a way as to be able to use it without problems when flying, and he Castor says that building the tablet had all the time in mind the all-in-one solution that would not only be useful and portable, but also based on Linux.
At the moment PiPad is priced at $ 350. Interestingly, the project was recognized by the Eben Upton of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which paid in addition autograph on the device. More photos of this model (including the stages of production) can be seen in a special album on Flickr.
