Sweet! I’ve been kind of interested in building a pi-based tablet. That would be perfect. (Yes I know about the CutiePi, I’m not really into it for several reasons)
there's also the Raspad 3 which does have the downside of not offering official support for Pi5 (so you should probably at least try to limit power draw if you do use it with one).
Yeah, I want something in a more svelte package, more like a “normal” tablet, like an iPad.
I’m thinking maybe CM5, there are some low profile IO boards out there that can get the whole package down to 10mm thick, not including the screen. Though they are quite expensive.
Also looking into other options like a lattepanda Mu or OrangePi zero 3w, and some radxa sbc’s. Might be blasphemy to say that around here, but they are interesting options. But I cant find a low profile io board for the Mu, and the 3W might be a little underpowered. And it doesn’t seem like there are any good ways to get display out of the OPi or radxa boards besides hdmi.
If only raspberry pi just made a low profile 5. That would be great. Maybe I could cut off the usb-A and Ethernet ports, but that seems high risk considering how expensive pi’s are these days.
