Could you make a raspberry pi tablet with a small enough speaker?

I don't know about speakers (i'm sure you can..) but it does work pretty nicely as a tablet (that runs Mathematica!)

If you type "raspberri pi tablet" into a search engine you'll find Michael Castor's tablet: http://www.mkcastor.com/2014/01/02/pipad-build/

I tried making my own, but made the cool, yet shortsighted decision to make it out of granite so it would be a "stone tablet". Granite tiles are cheap, but the tools you need to cut them are not. Plus it ends up being really heavy... I plan to remake the case one of these days out of something lighter.

I wrote up how I did it, and there are some tips in there that you may find helpful (like figuring out an on-screen keyboard).
