Rasti Computer

by Penk Chen · Hard · manifest draft — being verified

A GRiD Compass-inspired Framework laptop with a 10.4-inch ultrawide touchscreen, custom 64-key low-profile keyboard and printed clamshell.

Penk Chen combined reusable Framework Laptop 13 components with a purpose-built Rasti64 keyboard and a weathered, retro-futuristic enclosure. The repositories publish a quantified BOM, Gerbers, firmware and editable enclosure files, while clearly crediting the MIT-licensed design.

Notes

Official Rasti Computer and Rasti64 READMEs, BOMs, files and MIT licenses checked on 2026-10-17. Kept as draft because the main build instructions still say “Coming soon,” the two repositories disagree on Pico versus RP2040-Zero and header count, and RAM, storage, charger and internal cabling are not documented.
