Description

Cyberdecks are portable, hackable, low-tech computers inspired by the cyberpunk universe — a glorious mashup of high-tech gadgetry and dystopian living.

The idea is simple: build a computer that’s portable, has a small screen, and — ideally — a physical keyboard. Think of it as a laptop reimagined from a retrofuturism universe. Homespun cyberdecks are hugely popular right now, and Raspberry Pi sits at the heart of most builds. In Raspberry Pi Guide to Cyberdecks 2027, you'll take a tour of some of the greatest cyberdeck builds, and discover guides for building your own. In this book, you'll learn how to:

  • Build cyberdecks powered by Raspberry Pi computers and microcontrollers.
  • Add LoRa mesh networking to your build.
  • Choose the right power source for your cyberdeck.
  • Find the best display technology for your project.
  • Decide between an off-the-shelf enclosure or a DIY solution.

Computers don't need to be boring slabs of glass and glue. Take some inspiration from this guide, and build a portable device that is uniquely yours.
