Why I do not use a Raspberry Pie?

 Why I do not use a Raspberry Pie?

With Microchip Industry at its peak it is not worth investing on technical gadgets. 

If I am given the chance, instead of a Raspberry Pie, I would have made my Mini Computer on a Simple Keyboard  by integrating the CPU and RAM of my NUC on the keyboard base. 

Just stick the NUC circuit board and mini RAM to the keyboard. 

Instead of a TV monitor, a Liquid Crystal Display would function as my digital reader cum monitor, ideally folded into two halves.       

It is humanly possible to make, such a device and   it would be much cheaper but these Corporate Giants would never consider such a venture. 

By the way, the keyboard would be bit bigger, thicker and heavier.

The Corporate Giants target is profits.

I started with 4MB Video RAM and 128MB chip RAM to begin with. 

Full sketch of my "Globe Trotter" design would be given in my book "Linux Essentials".
