Carl Svensson ☛ The Coolest Amiga Setup
There are plenty of cool Amiga setups, past and present. A towerized Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard PPC accelerator? Sweet. A painted black Amiga 600 with a small TFT screen mounted on its case? Yes, please! An Amiga 500 with an old external hard drive and, inside, a Blizzard card with a 14 MHz 68000 CPU and two megs of fastmem? Stop, you're making me salivate!

CNX Software ☛ CPico RP2350 is another Raspberry Pi Pico 2 alternative with USB-C, 8MB flash, 2MB PSRAM, BConnect I2C & debug ports
iLabs CPico RP2350 is a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 alternative with the same form factor, still based on the Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller but equipped with a USB-C port, 8MB flash, 2MB PSRAM, a Reset button, and Bconnect I2C and debug ports. Apart from that, the CPico RP2350 retains the other features of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 including the two 20-pin PGIO headers, and BOOT button. It joins other Raspberry Pi Pico 2 alternatives like the Waveshare RP2350-Plus adding battery support.

Tom's Hardware ☛ This Raspberry Pi slim cyberdeck uses two Raspberry Pis
The main board powering the unit is a Raspberry Pi Zero. This makes sense given its small form factor and tendency to use less power, which is much more efficient for a portable system. The Pi Zero is connected to a screen with a Rii X1 mini keyboard for input. All of the hardware is housed inside a custom 3D-printed shell.
