Love them or hate them, you cannot deny that Kano has done a lot for the popularity of the Raspberry Pi. With the idea that you can “build a computer yourself”, good marketing, attractive packaging and well-written, well-presented resources, they have taken the world by storm and got the Pi into the hands of a lot of kids and schools.

They have just launched their new venture: a 10.1″ screen. It gives a resolution of 1280×800 (which is classed as High-Def) and comes with a moulded case and two-position stand. The driver board and the Pi mount on the back of the screen and there is plenty of room in there to add a battery or micro-keyboard for easy storage and transportation.

The screen alone currently costs $110 or £90 plus postage and you can also buy it in conjunction with a Pi and Kano keyboard for slightly more money. Be aware that on 11th September, the prices go up – these are special ‘pre-order’ prices.

It’s good value for money and looks like it could be a very competitive product against other screens that are available, especially at the size it is. So, if you’re interested in getting hold of one, head on over to Kano’s site to read more and pre-order. (When I tried the site, I had to pick United States and then United Kingdom in the drop-down to actually see the ‘Buy’ buttons, but you might find it’s fixed now).
