Folks have been cramming Raspberry Pi computers into handheld cases to create their own Game Boy clones for years. But the Retroflag GPi case lets you do it without a soldering iron, dremel, or 3D printer. It’s a $70 case that looks like a Game Boy. And it comes with a cartridge that looks like […]
MutantC is a DIY Sidekick clone with a Raspberry Pi at its heart
In the dark days (or good old days) before the advent of the smartphone, there was the T-Mobile Sidekick (also known as the Danger Hiptop). It was a phone with a screen that you could slide up to reveal a QWERTY keyboard that you could use for typing text messages. The days of the Sidekick […]
Piper Computer Kit 2 is kid-friendly computer (some assembly required)
The Piper Computer Kit is a DIY laptop with a Raspberry Pi, battery, LCD display, and wood case. Designed to teach kids the basics of computers and coding, it also has electronics breadboards, switches, wires, and even a little built-in toolbox. I got a chance to check out the original Piper Computer Kit last summer, […]
Oracle built a supercomputer from 1000+ Raspberry Pis
A $35 Raspberry Pi single-board computer is good at a lot of things… considering its small size, low power consumption, and inexpensive price tag. But you know what’s even better than a single Raspberry Pi? More than a thousand of them packed into a giant cluster to create a supercomputer. Well… I guess it’s only […]
Lilbits 377: Signs don’t look so good for Gemini
Remember that GST Gemini dual-screen laptop crowdfunding campaign I told you about the other day? Indiegogo has put it “under review,” and stopped accepting contributions. It’s unclear at the moment if this has anything to do with the product itself, the name (it’s hardly the first “Gemini” device to show up at Indiegogo), or something […]
CutiePi is an open source Raspberry Pi-based tablet (coming in late 2019?)
The CutiePi is hardly the first tablet built around one of Raspberry Pi’s tiny, low-cost computers. But it’s a pretty nifty looking addition to the category that combines an 8 inch touchscreen display with a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Lite, a custom carrier board, and software to make the Linux-based Raspbian operating system touch-friendly. […]
Lyra handheld game console is also a portable, Raspberry Pi-powered PC (Crowdfunding)
Creoqode’s Lyra is a handheld game console featuring a 5 inch display surrounded by game controllers. It looks a bit like a PS Vita, but under the hood it’s powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Lite. That means while you can use the Lyra to play classic console games, it’s basically a full-fledged […]
Hacker makes the Raspberry Pi 4’s PCIe interface usable (sort of)
The Raspberry Pi 4 is the most powerful Raspberry Pi computer to date, and the first to support up to 4GB of RAM. It’s also the first to support USB 3.0 — and the chip that controls USB is connected to a PCI Express interface. But that doesn’t mean you can attach peripherals directly to […]
Lilbits 372: Raspberry Pi 4 charging issues (and USB-C confusion)
Raspberry Pi’s latest small and cheap single-board computer is the most powerful to date. The recently launched Raspberry Pi 4 features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, an upgraded GPU, faster Ethernet, and for the first time it comes with three memory configuration choices: 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB. The new model is also the first to […]

The Raspberry Pi 4 is now available for purchase for $35 and up and along with a faster processor, support for dual dual displays and options for 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB of RAM, the new single-board computer is getting a new GNU/Linux distribution.

Raspberry Pi 4 is faster, supports up to 4GB of RAM, and still starts at $35
The Raspberry Pi Foundation’s latest single-board computer has the same $35 starting price as every Raspberry Pi Model B device launched since 2012. But the new Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is a big upgrade over the Pi 3 which was released three years ago. It has a more powerful processor, a USB Type-C port […]
NODE Mini Server V2 is a DIY Raspberry Pi-based server
Raspberry Pi’s line of low-cost single-board computers may not be the only game in town, but their $35 price tags, high level of community support, and small size make them ideal for DIY projects… like building your own server for decentralized web applications. The NODE Mini Server V2 is, as the name suggests, an update […]
Hyper Keyboard Pi kit turns a Raspberry Pi into a handheld PC (and game console)
A few months ago we wrote about a $10 accessory accessory for the Raspberry Pi Zero W that that you could use to turn the tiny PC into a handheld computer (once you add a display, battery, and some other components). Now it looks like there’s a similar (but slightly more polished looking) accessory for […]
Raspberry Pi releases official keyboard and mouse accessories
Normally it’s not exactly big news when a PC maker releases a new keyboard or mouse. But when the Raspberry Pi foundation, maker of a line of tiny, low-power PCs that sell for $35 or less does it? Well it’s still probably not big news, but it’s kind of interesting, because while the organization’s been selling […]
