CutiePi, a Raspberry Pi-based tablet

Rob Beschizza 4:10 am Fri Aug 16, 2019

CutiePi is a tablet based on the Raspberry Pi: compact enough, but more open, versatile and hacker-friendly than mainstream models from Apple, Microsoft or the Google coprosperity sphere.

CutiePi is a complete Raspberry Pi in a tablet form factor, minus the trouble of connecting monitor or power supply. It's slimmer because of using Compute Module, and you can carry or recharge it like your everyday gadgets.

Whether you're opening an app, SSH to a remote server, or displaying a dashboard, CutiePi's touch-friendly interface can help you with all that. Connecting a keyboard or a mouse is no longer mandatory.
