laptop

Intent of this thread is to provide a place for ideas and concepts for ITX laptops. Ill start by documenting every viable idea I've run by to make such projects feasible.

I've been reminded of the Framework modular laptop and they're still shipping pre-orders. Something I found interesting is that they're opening a marketplace that will sell replacement parts including mainboards. https://frame.work/marketplace/mainboards It supports PCIe 4.0 storage and dual...

This is yet another more or less mobile pc type project of which there a few now. The goal is to build an easily upgradeable laptop/portable pc suitable for running a virtual machine with gpu passthrough. Total power target is around 400W. This one is more of feasibility test or tech...

Linus had a video on this a while back that exposed this to a wider audience, and it looks like the same seller now has 10th gen options so I'm curious if anyone has played with one of these yet (any generation)? Apparently they provide a modded BIOS for your specific board (if compatible) so...

I was looking into buying a NAS and was surprised how bulky they are. Then I thought about making my own, but after some reading it felt like more faff than it was worth. Then I re-purposed my old Lenovo X230 laptop as a proof of concept - worked great: 2-bay (with the right laptop) very small...

Hello all, I've got a close friend moving to another country soon and I need some suggestions. It's for playing games like Halo MCC, some older RTS's and contemporary indie games. The problem is that I don't know that much when it comes to laptops and what work, especially considering the price...

Hey so I just got an email about the new Pi-top device. It is a laptop-designed case for a raspberry pi. It has a thick, clamshell design that I think could be re-purposed into a DIY laptop, using an STX system with appropriate ventilation and mounting mods. The screen is attached via HDMI...

I have this fantasy project to be able to build my own modular laptop (cpu and gpu mainly). In a perfect world I would use desktop grade parts, but I am only one person and I don't have a lifetime to design this project, so I was attempting to look into MXM mobos / GPUs, but I can't really find...

Hello guys. I want to buy a gaming laptop. So i was searching about budget ones, and I just found a really cheap i5 6300hq+GTX1060 6gb one, from a Chinese brand called Hasee. It seems like Hasee is a really famous brand in China, the 2nd biggest chinese pc manufacture. Here is the model...

Greetings wonderful people here on SFF, My name is Chris and I've been developing a laptop concept (admittedly slowly). The main idea is for a truly portable laptop with desktop parts, that doesn't break the bank and can be transported by plane (as carry-on luggage) just like you would a normal...

Razer has announced the pricing for the Core external graphics dock. It will cost $499 new, or $399 if purchased with the new Razer Blade Stealth laptop. They also revealed that the core will work with other laptops/desktops sporting a Thunderbolt 3.1 port. What do you guys think about the...

Hello guys, girls, ladies and gentlemen, This is my first post in this forum. I had an idea about a small system, which could be attached behind a screen or perhaps ( maybe its possible) to attach a display to this build. I´m planning to build a Pc with a Thin-ITX-motherboard, an intel 45w or...
