I 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.

- 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.
