A Raspberry Pi?  Is that not just the same as storing your private key on a micro SD card?
Air gapped wallet, to be specific. I usually consider it as storing my private key on a micro SD card but with layers of encryption so that an adversary cannot crack it within a short period of time, if needed. Being able to sign the transactions offline will negate most malware attacks as the airgap will deter most malware. If not for the ease of signing, using a pen and pencil to write down the seed would have been sufficient.
