Most of us have heard of Raspberry Pi, but the one thing it lacks is an integrated touchscreen display. Introducing the UUGear Vivid, which is a single-board PC, complete with a 5.5″ (1280×720) touchscreen display powered by a Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core Cortex-A72/A53 SoC.
You also get 4GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC flash memory, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 4 connectivity, support for M.2 NVMe storage, HDMI output and a MIPI CSI camera input. Want to turn it into an iPod-style music player? Then you’ll appreciate the built-in speaker and stereo microphone, allowing for expansion through a 40-pin GPIO header as well as other headers for ADC / USB. Available now, priced at around $106.21 USD.
