    Introduction to Cyberdecks

    • 📊 The term "cyberdeck" was originally coined by William Gibson in his 1984 novel Neuromancer, referring to an artisan-crafted computer.
    • 🤔 The creator misses the diverse designs of computers from the 90s and 2000s and wants to build something unique and cool.
    • 💻 The goal is to create a custom cyberdeck with a Windows operating system, decent performance, solid input/output options, and a cyberpunk aesthetic.

    Hardware Selection

    • 📈 The creator considered using a Raspberry Pi, but it was too slow and lacked an m.2 slot for storage.
    • 📊 A LattePanda was also considered, but it was too expensive.
    • 📁 The Framework laptop motherboard was chosen for its good performance, modular IO system, and availability of individual parts.

      Design and Features

      • 📐 The creator designed the cyberdeck with a slab-style form factor, inspired by old computers like the Tandy TRS-80 Model 100.
      • 🖥️ A 2400x900 IPS display was chosen for its aspect ratio and size, and it can be powered and supplied with video by a single USB-C cable.
      • 🎮 A Magic 2 keyboard was used, and a mini optical trackball made by Logitech was added for navigation.
      • 📀 A 3D printed frame was designed to hold all the components together, with aluminum face plates for a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing design.

      Assembly and Testing

      • 🔩 The creator used JB Weld to hold the 3D printed parts to the aluminum plate and glued the power button, header pins, and keyboard in place.
      • 📈 The electronic components were installed, and the system was tested with a Windows operating system.
      • 🎮 The cyberdeck was tested with games like Doom 2016 and Overwatch 2, and it performed well despite not having a dedicated graphics card.
