As the demand for mobile devices in life and work increases, we have to consider how to improve portability without losing computing power and functions. At this time, the combination of Raspberry Pi and PC monitor can provide an excellent solution, allowing us to complete computing tasks conveniently anywhere.

In this article, we will introduce how to build a portable computer with Raspberry Pi and LCD monitor.

Step 1. Prepare your Raspberry Pi and Desktop monitor

First, you need to buy a Raspberry Pi, which can be easily obtained on the Internet. In addition, you need to choose an LCD monitor according to your specific needs. Depending on the actual situation, you may need to choose a high-definition LCD monitor or a small-size LCD monitor, etc.

Step 2. Connect Raspberry Pi and LCD monitor

Now, you need to connect the Raspberry Pi and LCD monitor. Depending on the type of LCD monitor you choose, you may need to use an HDMI, VGA, or DVI converter to achieve the connection. In this case, VGA monitor, HDMI monitor as well as DVI monitor are all suitable choice for  the Raspberry Pi.

Step 3. Install the operating system

Next, you need to install the Linux system or other operating system supported by the Raspberry Pi and save it on your SD memory card. You can learn more about the operating system through the documents provided by the Raspberry Pi official website or search for other related documents on the Internet.

Step 4. Install the required software

After you have installed the required operating system, you need to install some software to complete the required computing tasks. Depending on your needs, you may need to install software such as a web browser, office suite, programming software, etc.

Step 5. Connect external devices

To complete your portable computer, you also need to connect external devices such as a mouse, keyboard, USB drive, etc., so that you can complete computing tasks more conveniently and efficiently.

Step 6. Complete the setup

Finally, you need to complete the setup to ensure that your portable computer runs according to your actual needs. After completing the setup, you can now turn on the Raspberry Pi as a portable computer to complete computing tasks.
