Raspberry Pi Releases Official Tutorial for Building a Cyberdeck
Raspberry Pi has published an official tutorial on how to build a cyberdeck, following the growing popularity of DIY mini computers. The trend, which involves creating portable devices from recycled or thrifted materials like purses and jewelry boxes, has gained traction on social media platforms such as TikTok. Raspberry Pi's guide includes a parts list and assembly instructions using a simple black Pelican-style case. The company acknowledged the cyberdeck phenomenon in 2026, with its head of social noting that it had become a major focus for them this year. The release comes amid rising component costs, including multiple price increases on Raspberry Pi boards like the $120 Raspberry Pi 5 (with 16GB RAM), which saw an additional $100 hike in April.
