Raspberry Pi Laptop

Raspberry Pi becomes a laptop

Richard Wilson | September 1, 2015

We all know that Raspberry Pi is a useful tiny computer but now you can make it into a laptop PC with 13-inch screen and keyboard.
Two developers have come up with the idea of combining the processing power of a Raspberry Pi with 3D printing to create a design kit for a laptop PC.

Pi-Top is a truly mobile device, use it on a plane, in a train or run through the woods with it, Pi-Top is as mobile as you are! With 10+ hours of battery life you can be sure your Pi-Top will last you through the day. Charge it once and don't worry about needing to find a power socket all day long. http://www.pi-top.com/#/

The London-based company behind the Pi-Top are now taking pre-orders for the first kits which cost less than £200 following a successful crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo.
