For 25 bucks you could mount this in a keyboard with a mouse pad (I just happen to have one) and have a portable computer that could be connected to any monitor.

For that matter. You could take and gut an old laptop and mount it in there.

Raspberry Pi model B

INTRODUCTION

What’s a Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.

Can I buy shares in the Raspberry Pi Foundation?

We’re a charity, so you can’t buy shares in the company. If you want to support us, we’d love you to buy one. We’ll also be offering a package where you can do a buy-one-give-one purchase, and we’ll be accepting donations too once we start shipping.

I bought a used Droid to use as a portable computer. It won’t connect to a monitor or keyboard, but some of the newer phones allow it.
