Also there are so many cool cyberdeck (and adjacent) builds around that the bar is very high; plain raspi in some lasercut plywood is pretty barebones. Just few days HaD had this random build featured: https://hackaday.com/2024/02/02/retro-styled-rasti-laptop-packs-framework-mobo/ https://hackaday.com/2024/02/02/retro-styled-rasti-laptop-pa...
- criddell 3y agoI keep hoping to find a cyberdeck that’s better than the Radio Shack Model 100 from 40 years ago. It ran for 20 hours on 4 AA batteries. I think the Raspberry Pi is usually the weak point. By itself, you only get 3-4 hours of runtime on 4 AA batteries.
- karmakaze 3y agoWow, I didn't realize it only used 4 AA's. Didn't have one but saw a few. The screen wasn't bad and the keyboard was fantastic, which was a point of focus for me since my Atari 400 had membrane keys (though I got really good at slide-press typing on it).
- zokier 3y agoRaspberry Pi Pico should be able to get that sort of battery life. Finding appropriate display might be the most difficult part. There are already some BASIC implementations for rp2040 floating around.
- jmprspret 3y agoThis is awesome, and such a good use of framework parts! I hope to see more building DIY machines in custom form factors using framework hardware.
