Building your own compact Raspberry Pi system is not
complicated but if you would prefer to purchase one ready built, you might be
interested in the new Raspad Raspberry Pi Tablet which has this week launched
via Kickstarter and already raised over £ 150,000 thanks to over 1,200 backers
with still 30 days left remaining on its campaign.
Designed by SunFounder based in the UK the Raspberry
Pi tablet comes complete with a 10.1 IPS touchscreen together with a internal
rechargeable battery capable of providing up to 5 hours of battery life, stereo
speakers and unique interface and support. There is also a special Hatch
designed to replace the motherboard with ease that doesn’t restrict you from
just using the Raspberry Pi, but allows the tablet to support other mini PCs
such as the Tinker Board and other computers with a similar form factor.
In order to keep all the GPIO and other pins on your
Raspberry Pi mini PC accessible for project building, the team of developers
have created unique side grooves. Simply connect the sensor blocks to the
RasPad through the grooves to enter the world of Internet of things, say its
creators.
The Raspad Raspberry Pi Table is now available to
preorder for super early bird backers at US$ 129 offering a fantastic 54 percent
saving off the recommended retail price. Although at this pledge level no
Raspberry Pi is included and you will need to have your own.
