Raspberry PI Tablet (PiPad)

161915

Hello,

 

After looking around on the internet I saw tons of cool raspberry pi projects but none of them were really mobile. So after doing some thinking I was wondering if you could maybe build a raspberry pi tablet. One that is like a iPad but better. Maybe with front and back facing cameras and bluetooth and built in WiFi. Of course there would have to be a built in battery. You would also have to 3D print a custom case and build in a touch screen but I figured if anyone could build something like this it would be Ben Heck!

 

P.S this would be one of the coolest things you have ever built!

 

Thank you, I hope you are able to build it!

    A great idea, but someone came up with a good build at PiPad Build | MICHAEL K CASTOR / It could be updated with a Raspberry Pi 2 and maybe a cooler case with Ben Heck on it.

    That's really cool. Though it could most certainly be made much thinner.
