Kano’s been making build-your-own computer kits for a while now, but while they
let you put together an actual PC, you were still building what amounted to a desktop computer with no screen or internal battery. The company’s new Computer Kit Complete takes the next natural step for the DIY computer: building a laptop (via The Next Web).
IT’S STILL BASICALLY A DRESSED-UP RASPBERRY PI 3
The core of the Computer Kit Complete is the same as the regular Computer Kit. It’s still basically a dressed-up Raspberry Pi 3 that runs the Kano OS software, and it’s still designed to help teach children to basics of coding. But the Computer Kit Complete is a full, standalone machine that kids can put together, with an integrated 10.1-inch screen, battery, and even an additional USB board for connecting more devices. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/9/27/16374024/kano-diy-computer-kit-complete-raspberry-pi-3-laptop-code
