Pi Slate: Mobile Raspberry Pi 5-powered device sports keyboard, battery and touchscreen

The Pi Slate has a battery, keyboard and touchscreen

The Pi Slate is a new mobile system based on the Raspberry Pi 5. The device should be fairly versatile and practical for typing longer texts, among other use cases. The Pi Slate is available in several versions.

There are already several handhelds based on the Raspberry Pi 5, and the Pi Slate is now a new option that is also commercially available. The Pi Slate is based on the Raspberry Pi 5 and offered in various configurations, as the handheld can also be ordered without the Raspberry Pi. In that case, it costs $335 plus shipping. The Pi Slate with the Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB RAM and 128GB storage costs a rather steep $840.

The gadget weighs around 1.27 lb and has a 5-inch touch display with a resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels. Input is possible via a QWERTZ keyboard with RGB backlight. The battery has a capacity of 10,000mAh. The Raspberry Pi 5 is cooled actively, which should provide suitably effective cooling.

A modular add-on for the back is already included, and it also has a folding stand. Wireless modules can also be mounted this way. The corresponding and necessary pass-throughs for antennas are already available. According to the manufacturer, the device is compatible with various operating systems, although that ultimately depends more on the Raspberry Pi. Naturally, this means the specially adapted Pi OS can be used, as can Batocera for gaming.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
