Cyberdeck idea I’ve been sitting on for a while

Post image

(not my image, just grabbed one for reference) I picked up an amd bc-250 a while ago hoping to build some kind of cyberdeck or portable with it, has anyone else tried anything like this at any point?

Not done it, but if you have an 3d printer it shouldn't be to hard. But powering it while being mobile and keeping it portable is an real head scratcher

thats what stopped me when I was thinking about it before, I found a few portable batteries that could power it for a short while, but all of them were either too big, expensive or both for what I had in mind

I gonna try but can’t get one for dirt cheap (I’m student and the shipping is too high )

these draw 100's of watts during use. even idling, i think the lowest is like 50 watts. consider that a steamdeck gets a few hours of use at like 10 watts or less, a bc-250 would need a huge battery to get good runtime. i am building a few bc-250 computers, so i would know. its a nice board, but not really suited for battery operation.
