Pi is dead. $300 for just the board is ridiculous. You can build a cheaper and faster cyberdeck by cannibalizing a Chromebook and installing Linux.

The thing that always drives me nuts about these builds is that even with a self-contained thing in a small case, people are stuck using wireless keyboards to connect to the computer located inches away. Why are there no small wired keyboards anymore?

I think that the whole concept of a Cyberdeck is that it needs to be completely designed and built from scratch by the individual using commodity and custom components.
That said, if someone builds one out of a Pi500, a USB brick and a portable monitor, held together with ducttape, and wants to call it a cyberdeck, that is fine.
They may not have the same cachet as someone who fabricates their own case and circuit boards, with an SB compute module, but that is fine.
Pi got bought o think. No longer nonprofit, enshittifying after industry started using them in everything.
In this economy?
