Overview
A custom-built modular laptop (cyberdeck) designed around flexibility and portability, with detachable peripherals and a multi-screen setup.
Problem
Commercial laptops are rigid form factors — fixed keyboards, single screens, no modularity. For a maker/power-user, a purpose-built portable computing platform would be more versatile.
Approach
- Detachable keyboard — ultra-slim, with foldable tabs that expand it into a 3D ergonomic shape
- Detachable mousepad — ultra-slim, folds to become a standalone mouse
- Foldable tri-screen display
- Foldable kickstand
Open Questions
- What compute module to use? (RPi, Intel NUC, Framework mainboard?)
- Screen tech and hinge mechanism for tri-screen
- Power / battery strategy
- How to handle connectivity between detachable modules
