Now that most equipment manufacturers like Apple and Samsung always try to make their new generation of products finer and more eye-catching, right now you could go one step further and create your own Linux computer the size of a Nintendo DS.

We recommend the tutorial: the best uses for Raspberry Pi.

This great tutorial was originally shared by Chris Robinson of NODE, who basically built a miniature laptop with the help of a Raspberry Pi 2, a QWERTY keyboard, a color LCD screen and a battery.

This computer also has USB ports and an Ethernet connector. This is the complete list of things you will need to create your own Linux team:

• Raspberry Pi 2 (900MHz CPU, 1GB RAM). 3 USB ports. Ethernet connector. Backlit QWERTY keyboard. 3.5 inch touch screen. Clamsheell 1000 mAh battery. Linux (Raspbian) operating system with the new window manager i3. Audio / Video output.

The case is made from the plastic cases of 2 2.5-inch hard drives that you can get from an online portal.

Before starting, keep in mind that you will have to make some modifications such as reducing the size of the Raspberry Pi using detailed techniques in the video.

You can also use an external monitor to give it the feeling of a desktop computer. In addition, this computer will be able to run ARM applications, and you can use it to browse the web or to play some games.
