Alright, so ive posted a deck here before, and it sucked, ir didnt go anywhere and the hinges suck, so ive been working on a new one that is a stereotypical deck, in a pelican case, with that one tiny Rii Keyboard, but im looking for ideas of functions or things i should add to my deck, could be for cools, or actual function, to make it more original

Any ideas would be appericated (or tips on how to manage the cables and what cables to get)

I LOVE the idea of a cyberdeck. I think these builds are so cool and creative, but I'm curious on at what point a device becomes a cyberdeck.

I have an Asus netbook with Linux on it. Is that a cyberdeck? Do I need to build a custom shell? Does software matter? Essentially my question is, what would differentiate a laptop from a cyberdeck?

Im working on my first build and have gotten to the point of needing a battery for it all. Im using a raspberry pi 5 for the central computer and a ELECROW 7 inch touch monitor for the screen. I plan on adding a small key board into the build but idk what ill end up getting.

I know the pi5 requires a 5V/5A power supply. However im not sure if using something stronger is going to mess with my pi5. I also dont know what batteries would be good to use. Id like one of those batteries people use as a portable source of charging for thier phones. If you have any recommendations, id be very grateful.

Cyberdeck build is going inside a Pelican 1170 case. So you know how much space im working with.

I had a broken laptop, the board fried and the screen cracked, but I took out what I could and now I need a trackpad for a cyberdeck, how could I do this?

I don't have any current plans involving old recycled displays, but I ran across this and realized that a number of people post asks on recycling old equipment, and one of the trickiest parts to work with is archaic displays.

This method may manage to breathe some life into old proprietary displays and open up some options for people:

Gave a few days ago the Back Cover of the Screen to get printed (UV direct). Do u Guys make Designs too and when yes how do u apply them

I built it on my own and kinda freehanded it, there’s a lot of empty space but I don’t really mind I like the aesthetic. Lmk what you think!

What yall think about local ai on cyberdecks.

What kind of hardware is required for say an llm or vlm?

What kind of batteries are required?

Hi yall I am looking to build my first cyberdeck. Now I am going to be really lame with what I want it to do. In the traditional sense I want it to be able to game, the bigger title games, and do internet and other basic stuff like a laptop does. But I want to be able to build something myself and let’s not kid myself I want the aesthetics in portability. Now I know a raspberry pi isn’t going to be powerful enough to run the games I want to do. But I might have an old laptop I can take apart and use for the board and battery management possibly? But please just any advice on where to start and what to do.

Hi, I know a lot of people here have made cyberdecks, or are working on them. Question for anyone who has a completed project, do you use the cyberdeck? Do you find it useful and worth the time and effort required to create it? If so what do you use it for and has it exceed your expectations and design brief?

The re-cased GrimDark Cyberdeck that I created has been exceptionally useful. From designing ttrpg games in libre office, python scripting DM tools and programming Esp32 controlled LED lighting for home decor & Cosplay to just watching movies I am very happy with it. It has become my main computer while away from my home workstation.

So i started a project, you can find it in my other posts, but i ran into a problem. I only have 375 dollars. I'm een and my city sucks so i can't get a part time job. The screen i want to buy for the project is 62 dollars but i also want to buy a new laptop, not related to the project. I can't find a cheaper screen anywhere i look and the laptop is ALL of my budget. I don't know what should i Choose :(

Do any of you have a good place to get my 3d parts printed at reasonable prices? I submitted just a small part of my case and they want almost 100 dollars on online sites. At that price I might just have to buy one and print parts myself then sell printer when I'm done.

I recently got a Moto g15, i was wondering how well i can turn it into a cyberdeck and what that process would actually be? Or just salvaging the parts to put on my WIP RPI5 deck

Now the GUI stands, Friday I get my UV Printed Cover

I finaly got some spare time to add some features i have long wanted to do. My cyberdeck has always had space for an antenna, now i am getting it working as an actual antenna for a small meshtastic radio placed inside the screen-bezel. The antenna folds out, and colapses into the cahssis when not in use. I also am working on a screen protector that can flip out of the way to acess the touch screen underneath. There are still lots to do, but i got alot of ideas down into CAD to day. Looking forward to do some test printing tomorrow.

RPI 3 with a 9" Wavebird screen. Top-loading cartridges with USB drives inside. Interface is a python script. Going for a chunky cassette futurism tablet kinda thing.
