Raspberry Pi enthusiasts or gamers looking to learn a little more about the awesome mini PC, may be interested in the POCO Pocket Raspberry Pi gaming kit which is now available to preorder with delivery expected to take place in 4 to 6 weeks.
“Two part body construction, snap fit kit is easy to assemble in around 30 minutes (no soldering required) and includes everything needed to build a pocket computer straight out of the box. E.g a pre-soldered Raspberry Pi zero W, TFT display with touch, Daughterboard PCB, action cam, speaker, rechargeable battery, silicone keypads, micro SD card, stylus, body casing, screws & allen key.
