How I Built a Raspberry Pi Tablet

This is a really cool DIY project, but probably not practical. That thing's going to be slow as molasses.

Maybe with the RPi, but not if you use the board from this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7055540

Quad-core 1.7 GHz Exnyos with 2 GB of RAM for $59.

I just found out about this board, but it appears pretty impressive for the price. Has anyone used it?

It all depends upon the end goal in terms of practicality. It would be too slow for me as well, but it looks like it is fast enough to watch a movie during a commute, or to read a book.

However, totally agreed on the cool factor of the project!
