Pi Desktop: Raspberry Pi conversion kit on Linux desktop

The Pi Desktop kit from Premier Farnell – the largest Raspberry Pi manufacturer – includes an additional board containing: an mSATA , a smart power regulator (plus real-time clock and battery), a heat sink, a USB (Micro-Type A) adapter, spacers and screws, all in one box to have it all.Pi Desktop

The company said the kit could help Raspberry Pi friends turn their Pi board into a "fully equipped Linux computer" in minutes, which can then be connected to a monitor via HDMI.

Premier Farnell said that when you combine the Raspberry Pi with a Des 39.99 Pi Desktop, you will have "all the functionality one would expect from a standard PC", although the Raspberry Pi 3 is a solid state drive and a camera will have to be purchased separately, and of course they raise the price.

According to Premier Farnell, using an SSD makes the particularly durable. Ms of the Raspberry Pi directly from the SSD also enables a faster boot.

So far we have seen many projects aimed at turning Raspberry Pi into a desktop, including Pi Top.

But none deliver the performance you'd expect from a high-end laptop . It remains to be seen whether the Pi Desktop can actually do this without the user having to make compromises.
