Yeah I did not want to pay for mine. Got a gift certificate from someone and
bought it that way with a little bit of money added. Also bought the Flir
stainless steel case. Makes for a good way of keeping the pi from getting too
hot. It's worth it though. I love my pi4 and don't want to let anyone touch
it. Have you ever read the MagPi magazine? Sometimes they have contests
where you can win a pi4. You prob have enough talent for that. What typ of
battery pack did you use to power your pi when it was portable? Also I wish I
could go somewhere and actually feel the battery pack and tiny keyboard I would
want to use. Buying on Amazon sometimes feels like I am buying what I am not
seeing (feeling).
Sincerely,

Not sure if you’re in the US but I wouldn’t mind helping foot the bill for a
pie if it would benefit you greatly. Real easy to drop one in the cart on
Amazon.
I would hope you got extra credit for using such a cool solution in your
computer science program.

Even the HDMI monitor is only needed if you have actual use for a
display. I used a Pi 3 with just a wireless USB keyboard, portable USB
power pack, and pair of earphones as a lightweight alternative to a
laptop for doing classwork during my final semester of my computer
science degree, and that was before even the 3 Plus was announced and
back when piespeakup was the only working console screen reader on the
Pi. Really wish I had the money to spare for upgrading to a 4GB Pi 4.
