On the basis of the Raspberry Pi made a full-fledged netbook (+ the idea of ​​the competition)

Raspberry Pi is a very popular mini-PC, and based on it they are now creating all sorts of interesting projects. For example, based on the 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, it seems, other masters will be able to create projects in the cases of old / broken laptops. A few details - in the sequel.

A member of Instructables 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, keyboard, touchpad, display and batteries. There is even a 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 competition " Raspberry Pi Challenge: ", which was announced on the same instructables. At the same time, to my surprise, the LapPi project took not the first, but the second place. Among other winners were PC glasses (first place, by the way), plus a gaming coffee table, plus a “smart target”, plus Voiceberry Pi! .. There is even a home server, made on the basis of the mentioned mini-computer.

By the way, these components were used to make a laptop out of our mini-computer:

1 x Raspberry Pi.

By the way, and not to declare a similar competition in Habré? Quite a lot of representatives of the Habrasoobshchestvo are already owners of Raspberry Pi. Maybe someone already did something interesting? And if not, maybe worth a try?
