from the all-in-one dept.

NEC Display Solutions Europe has announced a collaboration with the Raspberry Pi foundation that will put Raspis into slots in monitors: https://www.nec-display-solutions.com/p/hq/en/news/dp/Products/Shared/News/2016/PressReleases/Company/RaspberryPi/RaspberryPi.xhtml

The socket in the monitor looks a lot like it will hold the Raspi Compute Module, while the given specifications mention a quad 1.2 GHz CPU. So it is likely that a Compute Module with the BCM2837 SoC from the Raspi 3 will ship by the announced date in January 2017. The press release particularly points out the usefulness in IoT-related display and signage areas, but overall, the package should also be a rather decent all-in-one PC that could be used in many other situations that do not require very high performance.

NEC also announced, aside from the standard Raspi, some custom hardware to fit into these CPU sockets that "meets the needs of the display industry", but was not yet specific on technical details here.

    $50, on sale, not including Raspi 3 and accessories, and maybe I'd buy one.
