As you see in the following pictures I am still working on design and buildup. So there is still a long way to go till the first prototype. In the last stage there will most likely also be some professional co-engineering (for manufacturing, custom LCD Controller, custom Displayport cable and so...

No, but I think it will be very competitive vs High End gaming notebooks. For the same price point we should get better performance with desktop components. And in addition it should have lower system noise, is easy to repair, upgradable and have better cooling performance.

Renders of the current version (45% finished): Decisions were made on the soundsystem: I will integrate a very high quality class d stereo amplifier (the one in the picture below is made in usa) and premium 1.5 inch full range speakers with 30 watt RMS like the ones you see below...

Thanks for this list! I already knew two of them. Each of the 3 inch speakers should fit. The max height of the speaker on the left side depends on the cooling solution. If you use 120 mm AIO then all of them should fit. Speakers in the display part is difficult. There will be a max clearance...

As I said I currently have a lot of other work to do. But things move on slowly and here is the last state of the project: - At first some quick renders of the current version (40% finished): List of changes: - Size: This is now a 17.3 inch machine! So the width got reduced by 30 mm and...

I have not made any requests to suppliers yet. I already saw a price for the 4K panel. I assume it will be something like that: 18.4" Full HD 60 Hz IPS < 17.3" Full HD 144 Hz IPS < 17.3" WQHD 120 Hz TN < 18.4" 4K 60 Hz IPS (200$ per piece from China) Of course prices will go down with ordering...

Yes of course. This project will go on! But currently I have a lot of work to do (job and family/house). I expect to go on with this project in about 2 months. After that I will have way more time to focus on this. For now I have sadly nothing new to post... Except a 4k render of the old version...

So here is a picture for size comparison what Hybrid will look like on a desk in monitor and laptop mode. This is my first concept for a one touch VESA quick lock. Thanks @owliwar for the vesa suggestion and @zanduh for the quick lock! It works like this: You just have to clip Hybrid on the...

Thanks! Thank you! Yes I have some sort of timeline. This summer will be really stressful for me. So there will be progress but not as fast as I wish. So my goal is to have everything ready for prototype production at the end of the year. Thanks! The 40 mm fans can be 20 mm deep. And the...

I changed some things: - Speakers are now on the outside as some of you suggested. The air-out on the palm rest is much smaller. In exchange there are more air-in vents on the front side. - There are two new modes: A pivot mode on the monitor stand and something i call desk mode. There will be...

Thanks! I love your idea with the vesa mount. So basically the monitor stand could have a removable mounting plate with vesa holes and a quick release mechanism. I will work out a first concept and then we can discuss it further. Thanks for your input! Regarding the keyboard: Yes why not. So...

Hi, nice case! I think I have something that might help you. I will be using a custom 90 degree thin cable in my Project Hybrid: There are several suppliers. This one is from Aerialpixels...

Nice:D I like this one more than your previous layout. The footprint is the same. It is only higher. So this matches my love for vertical cases. But the main reason why I prefer this layout is the possibility of different configurations. What you are developing here is an enthusiast sff case...

I made a change on the stand. The vertical stand is now also providing a monitor style position. It allows height adjustment and angle adjustment with the 360 degree hinge. I am also planning to use Logitech K810 as keyboard. I can perfectly integrate it into the chassis. It will look...

DAC amplifier with headphone amp is definitely a favorite. I already talked to a supplier. Thanks for your tips. I will consider this. There will be a heat insulation layer and enough airflow. So I am sure it will not get warmer than a gaming laptop. You are right about the outlet on the...
