Raspberry Pi Connect, the remote access service for Raspberry Pi devices, may soon gain the ability to remotely control Windows machines. The feature is being developed to allow users to connect to and control Windows PCs from a Raspberry Pi or other devices, expanding the functionality of the tool beyond Linux-based systems.
Raspberry Pi announced price increases for all models with LPDDR4 RAM, including a new 3GB Pi 4 for $83.75. The 16GB Pi 5 now costs $299.99 due to rising DRAM prices affecting the hobbyist single-board computer market.
Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics sent a Reachy Mini robot for testing. The robot, introduced by Jensen Huang at CES, responds to human input and performs tasks like turning its head and sending emails.
The DeskPi Super4C is a 4-node Raspberry Pi CM5 cluster board that addresses issues with the older Super6C model. The author tested this board around the same time as the SBCC 2026, a student single-board cluster competition where university teams built mini HPC clusters on a $6,000 budget.
The Argon ONE UP laptop chassis built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 allows for easy hardware upgrades by swapping out the compute module. This approach enables users to upgrade to higher-spec CM5 versions or future CM6 modules while keeping the same laptop body.
Raspberry Pi Connect, the free remote access service from Raspberry Pi, may soon add support for remotely controlling Windows PCs. The feature would make the service a more direct competitor to RealVNC, which had previously been the go-to remote access solution before Pi OS 12 'Bookworm' launched. Currently, Pi Connect does not run on Windows or macOS.
