Loving the incorporation of 3Dprinting into your arsenal, Matt. And the brass legs give it that classic DIY Perks touch. Your creativity is inspiring!
Bro it's so damn cool seeing you here
lets make the frame out of wood and make it really high end, right? ;D
Haha, when I saw the 3D-printed case I was like "Aww, where's the brass?" but then I saw the legs and the world felt normal again.
Let me give you an idea for your next project. Using raspberry pi or jetson board to make a 6.8 inch phone . With very small bulk size. You can add the fan to it only if your going to over clock it to the extreme. Running Android. Let's see what you will build. From West Africa
Hi
I love how much work is put into this The engineering The craft The design Brainstorming Sourcing materials Concepts Then filming the entire thing Maybe I missed more Damn , never gonna be this productive in my life ever
Do you?
dont forget the hours of editing!
Every time this guy publishes a new video I tell myself , there is no way he can do better than what he did.THIS GUY STILL AMAZES ME EVERYTIME.
i love how even when he doesn't actually use as much brass as normal, he still adds that signature brass look somehow.
I haven't even finished this video yet, and I am blown away. This formfactor is EXACTLY what I need for school. I need a lot of screen real estate for the level of reading and research that I perform. Waiting for a computer that is capable of just this...I'm all over it!
This is absolutely amazing! Not only a new design, but a new way of using a computer. That's a whole new thing right there! Your engineering is truly breathtaking, the way you are able to see BEYOND what already exists. Damn!
This is the sort of stuff I was excited to see when I first heard about Framework. Yes there laptops look nice, but because all the parts can be purchase individually and they don't do any lockdown shenanigans, it makes projects like this way easier and importantly, consistent if other people want to do it (rather than gutting an old laptop).
@Yiğit Anıl Genç ahh yes, Apple. Hates consumer repairability, and all products made in a factory with suicidal workers. Who wouldn't want to support that? Qualcomm is making desktop ARM based CPUs soon. I'd rather wait for that, than buy something that makes Tim Cooke that little bit richer...
The finish in 9:41 is mad
@Alex C The entire laptop is still together by nothing but screws, and the motherboard can actually be used as a separate standalone computer. Most computers don't let you do that. Almost every single component that could break is replaceable. Hinge brakes? Replaceable. Keyboard? When placeable. Screen? Replaceable. All with a screwdriver and a little time, with no need to take it to a repair shop. And unlike every other laptop in the world, it's actually upgradeable. It started with an 11th gen processor, now you can replace it with a 12th gen. Linus fell in love with this concept so much that not only did he actually buy the computer as his new daily driver, but after the first video he made on it he invested $250,000. It sounds like a small investment, and that's because they weren't actually looking for big investments by the time he finally asked. He's also made it clear that should the company eventually betray its users, he will publicly denounce them and end his investment.
I wish i could have...but u r far away...Thanks From Bangladesh
I would likely not utilize them on my own (my HP laptop will become dust before I purchase another laptop), but I want to say the largest possible THANK YOU for making the 3D printing files open-source and allowing, nay encouraging, other people to modify them on their own. I'm sure it takes a lot of work to create this, and ending your (presumably) days and weeks of hard working and engineering with a desire for other people to share in your amazing creation is truly, well, amazing! Thank you, good job on the excellent video, and have a nice day!
Sir I've been watching you for almost a decade now and I consistently re watch your videos more than anyone on this platform. You have helped me articulate myself better through electronic repairs and such, I just wanted to say thank you for staying on ID-tv and keeping the same yet fresh and original content!
What you've created there mate is a modern take on an old school luggable. Awesome work!
From DIY glowing mushrooms (which I never managed to get done right) all the way to custom laptop build. You've come a long way, dude. Many people cannot understand the degree of craftsmanship that such builds require👏
This has to be the opening for the long overdue DIY Perks and Linus Tech Tips cross-over collab. Matt making the project open sourced and even using Framework-components (of which Linus is an investor) it almost couldn't be more of an obvious opportunity :-).
@bobyoo not even. It's like comparing a concept of a pear to real oranges.
@Eden K Literally nothing like Unbox Therapy. Not even close lol
@Eden K Are you seriously comparing Unbox Therapy with LTT? Even though both are tech channels, it's like comparing pears to oranges. Point me to a video of Unbox Therapy where they provided graph and in-depth review of different techs?
@Eden K Motorola had the first mover advantage when it came to mobile phones… look at where they are today. Linus’ success is undeniably through skill and hardwork, even more so the fact he’s maintained it this long.
@Eden K LTT does employee several dozen full time engineers and software developers. I wouldn't say they lack skill as shown by their occasional in-depth videos but rather they focus on quantity to support it's 100+ employees. The company produces over a dozen videos a week across all of it's channels. I think once their new lab extension is complete, they will definitely start producing technical content on a consistent basis, perhaps even a new lab channel and website.
Not only does Framework try to make the consumer electronics industry better, they also empower amazing projects like this!
And the DIY side can get you a decent wide gamut OLED panel which they don't offer on the laptops
I love watching your projects and can only imagine the effort that goes into developing the product and also the great video production. Thank you. I watch each one thinking "that is such a cool idea" and then in the back of my mind a voice is saying "but you will never try to make this" :-D
Love to see the framework parts used this way! This enables such a new way of DIY projects!
Matt, I've been watching you build beautiful and exceptionally well-engineered creations for years now and THIS is the project that I want to create the most. I can't wait to give it a go! Thank you.
This youtube channel has been providing massive amount of inspiration over the years for me that I never put in use.
Very interesting and impressive. Open source too! Good on you mate. Setting a great example
Matt puts in so much time and effort into these projects, not to mention the process and video itself, and then just gives it all away to us. What a dude!
@Nurolight I don't think he would get many new subs doing this. It's interesting to watch, but usage scenarios are limited
@Jacob Nelson grow up
@Jacob Nelson while true altruism is impossible to achieve, it is possible to be less greedy. Matt could milk this project for every penny. However, he decided that the ad/sponsorship revenue was enough for him. And that he didn’t need to sell the project as well. I will never fault someone for trying to get the last dime out of their hard work. Money is something we all need. But when there is more money to be made, yet you forgo it to help others… well I would consider that commendable and kind.
@Jacob Nelson he could have chosen to lock the project behind a paywall, but he makes it freely available for everyone, how's that not altruistic?
@pavulon5000 Making the project open source rather than gating it behind a patreon paywall.
Thank you for making these videos. Always very interesting and impressive.
DIY perks is so creative. This guy should start a tech company
Terrific! The only downside of the portability is having to carry a keyboard and mouse. Even the smallest takes a bit of space in the backpack. Maybe one of those folding keyboards? Or maybe one of those really thin ones, witha 3d bracket on the main unit to hold it?
I love this. Thank you for sharing and making iy. Hope companies catch on to this design.
i have a suggestion. you should make the stand adjustable like those tripod stands because depending on your location you dont want the screen to be so high up
This is why we wait a month or two for a video from Matt. He always delivers a banger
This time it was 3 months!
I am absolutely speechless. This is amazing. I can't even imagine what ideas are flying around in this guys head.
That is a great project, well done! What was the final weight of the full setup?
Well done! Nice idea! could see companies selling this form factor in the future
Imagine something like a foldable phone, as a laptop, so you could just fold out both sides and then have a seamless huge widescreen :X That would be so awesome for a mobile studio or video editing pc.... Thanks for showing us your awesome as always idea!!
really love the dedication of engineering in this video big RESPECT
Loving the idea that Framework not only provides repairable laptops but makes it possible to buy parts and make your own DIY laptop.
@J E One generational upgrade isn't anything special, even in the laptop world. But how they go from here will prove if they can deliver on their claims.
@Zero I really hope framework decides to provide a touch screen. As an IT guy, we have far too many users that demand having a touch screen for me to be able to continue purchasing more framework laptops in our environment. I'd love to see framework keep doing what they're doing but continue to provide more options.
Make my laptop diy? Wow awesome
No offense to existing cyberdecks, but this is worlds better
Everything this guy does is premium. Nice work!
Matt is my technology and wood shop instructor wrapped in 1. I love how he’s super passionate too about what he does and he ALWAYS deliver. He’s super smart and is always artistic with his designs too. I still cannot get over the DIY PS5s. Keep it up buddy!
Fantastic! This portable luxury pc is missing only one thing: a nice headphones amp. Of course, a small usb dac on one of the usb ports will work. As always, excellent!
Always astound by your diy creations ❤❤❤
The contrasting colors you chose are so beautiful. For me, it looks like an ancient royalty design which makes it more premium.
There should be a compilation of Matt being so happy about using brass in his projects because it seems like it appears very time! 😆
@Ricardo Gobin and a leather handle of course
😄 it wouldn't be complete without a bit of brass
DIY Brass Projects. 😂
this idea is just wonderful. well impressed, thank you for sharing and making this happen
This is an incredible idea. I would love to build one. Need to invest in a 3D printer!
It's unbelievable to see , whenever I see your work , engineering at it's peak 🔥🔥🔥
This is my favorite project of yours so far! The stunning design, how small it gets when closed, and the 2 iPad screens on the sides are amazing features. This really is a triple-screen laptop done right.
This is an awesome project man. Great work.
DIY Perks always sets the bar so high each time that I think it's impossible to beat. Yet he beats it at every single video. That's an incredible task.
Hes a kingsman theres nothing less to expect. You cant make brains like this anymore
indeed, thoes leags r a litte bit to high, but it can be fix anyway, about touchscreen....indeed, it will be super hard to use, about mouse and keyboard, well....in the market, it have a plenty of slim mouse and keyboard to chosse so that maybe not become a problem
It's not very compact, but still it should barely fit into a compact backpack. The problem is navigation. Touchscreen on all three displays? Would be neat, but those legs and hinges would be wobbly. Keyboard and Trackpad? There's none. You won't be able to fit it into your bag, unless you get something hilariously small and un-ergonomic. Or you hope wherever you go there's a spare unit to borrow. Or you just don't use one and have no interactability.
10:35 that mechanism along would have taken me a full days of trial and errors with half a dozen test prints. He made it looks easier than it is
First video if watched of this channel. Blown away by the idea, this has a crazy amount of potential - the nomad solution of the next ~laptop~ generation (needs a new name now)
That was so cool. If I saw something like this on the market, I think I would buy it.
Great video!! This makes me want to own a 3d printer, next lets add a 4k camera to this with a sliding door for total privacy.
This was beautiful! Loved it, plus the 3D printing added flavors to it.
I'm totally blown away! Brilliant idea, executed perfectly. The only improvement that comes to mind might be telescopic legs. Btw, thanks so much for choosing to open source the project!
Love your projects, even tried/been inspired by a few. Especially especially especially love that you champion open source, so valuable and important. Thank you so much for all your hard work in showing us your creative projects! Top tier stuff!
@Adam S. im all for piracy too, dont worry!
@Bullet Punch No, it's not piracy. Digital content requires no cost to be duplicated and if it has been published, then creator has been already remunerated. So no. It's not piracy. Even if it's not digital, there can't be piracy - how do you see paying Rembrandt for a copy of his painting? Who got robbed - because that's what piracy is - by copying his artwork (not even counterfeit)? Though I understand people publish their work in anticipation of FUTURE income - which is fair expectation, I admit - it doesn't mean they lost anything from what they gained already. If anything, one should absolutely punish unauthorized re-use (i.e. someone downloads someone's content and monetizing it further). This will take care of actual pirates.
@Robotron Sage yay for piracy!
Also free market principles indicate that any product with an infinite supply (any type of digital data that can be infinitely copied and distributed) should effectively have 0 price in terms of market value.
Also the DMCA is an absolute joke and we should work on getting rid of it tbh. Everything was so much better when nobody took that sort of thing seriously. We would laugh at media companies for trying to ''curate'' their data into monetary exploits. The funny thing is, there are huge antitrust concerns with monetizable data, given you can infinitely copy and produce digital data at essentially ZERO cost, and you can't do that with other industries, so it should be unironically illegal to force monetization on digital (i.e, highly exploitable) data.
This is beautiful work. Glad you made it open source, but I almost wish you would make some to sell and you became very financially successful with this concept. Thank you for your hard work on this very creative form factor.
2.0 would be a colab with LTT. Linus is such a fan of Framework, he's invested heavily in it, and this would only help spread awareness of the goals Framework is trying to achieve
i actually would consider buying this off the shelf if it was made into a product
I would love to see somebody take this idea, and make a all in one pc, using desktop parts, with a built in vesa mount. I love the idea of a all in one, with the ability to be upgraded.
A modern version of the Compaq luggable. 😂😂😂 This is a great start, can’t wait to see who makes it thinner and adds active cooling along with a better stand.
All of your ideas are incredibly unique. But this has to take the cake for one of the weirdest yet coolest builds you've ever done. The use of ipad screens was genius
@Martinz Watcher Well, the fact that the resolution syncs up with his main display and that the size and shape are right really help, too.
it's not iPad screens that makes this genius because any tablet screen will do - what makes this genius is brass leg design. It's distinct and lightweight.
Thank you for pushing or using screens at the proper angle. It's crazy that poor laptops are not trying to do something like this.
This is a really cool build. I've had triple screen setups for ages, and I've always wondered why laptops couldn't use a screen configuration like yours. Never had thought about the terrible ergonomics of not having the screens up at eye level, but it looks like it's very much as bad as it seems. Also, I never knew such a thing as a modular kit-style laptop existed! Thanks for the tip. My next laptop might just end up being a little less conventional :D
From creating a Lego pull Focuse DIY to this, you sir are just bloody awesome. I have watch all your videos.
I'm not sure whether this would work but if you were happy with hdmi instead of dp would it possible to use 3 usb-c hubs all with hdmi out for the screens so that you would get all the extra usb ports that came with them?
Hi, just throwing idea. I've always thought that a laptop on which we could slide the screen on the side would allow it to be more centered between the keyboard an mouse. Allowing this portable setup to be more "video game playable" while approaching a desk setup positon for the user. Could you bring this to life ?!
I was somewhat lamenting the lack of brass seeing the project was being 3D printed. And then... Foldable legs in brass! Yes!!!! Now, THAT's a proper DIY Perks feel! Beautiful and clever as usual 👍🏼
Kinda like a technological reboot of Steampunk in a sense, where lots of Brass and Copper are used in just about every contraption wherever possible. Except the contraption here is a triple screen laptop lol
Yup Needs More Brass!!
Maybe a brass bezel for even more ridged build?
Don't forget the leather handle! Lol
yeah i wouldn't have minded a tiny little bit more copper and/or brass...still though - a great project as per usual.
Would a stand at the back work if I want to make it a little more traditional? Also just how secure is this? Because any consumer laptop I've owned is prone to bumps and scratches. Having so much of custom wiring doesn't seem too good for that.
Dear Matt thank you for this video. Got a question different to what has already been said. Have you considered building say a 46 centimetre computer screen that connects to a laptop and has a built in touch screen, along with a built in camera and projector. This is my dream to see this happen as I think it would do more for office work whilst at home at least. Thank you for reading my message in advance Kindest Regards Justin Ray.
Love your DIY projects :-)
I would love to see some post processing done on the 3d printed parts so they look a little less plasticky. Maybe some electroplating to get that true brass steampunk dyi perks look.
I would really like to see a more sophisticated design version of this. With a bit more resource it can become very neat.
Dammit Matt you've done it again and surprised me with another strange but "damn i wanna do that" project. I found your channel pretty recently and I've been binging all your videos they're just SO GOOD!
Besides the ingenious way of mixing together everything to something new with great design, I was waiting for the signature elements of this creator... brass and leather 😁
This is amazing. I wish I had the time to have a hobbie like this. Being a teacher sucks all your energy.
Im upset to see a lack of brass but I am always impressed, Great video
love the idea , I am currently running an iPad as a secondary display and I can confirm that it is an amazing addition to my system I would love to see a vesa mount on that which will be more reliable and universal
Damn that looks so cool,hats off to you creativity and hardwork.
I wouldn't be surprised if big tech is taking notes on this one. Your work is always impressive.
Surface Books hinge has a perfect little gap for this to fold into
And I’d be glad if they are - we need people bucking against the “established thing that sells and works” for real development to happen
You’re amazingly creative and capable! Thanks!
Never fail to impress! Love your channel !
Less than 60 seconds in, all I can think is; How the heck has no one else thought of this yet! It seems like such a simple solution..
one of your most impressive in terms of well-thought out. Well done!
Entertaining AND inspiring. Thanks again for yet another great video. Could you add the brand of the 3D printer you've been using? Thanks!
Great job, fascinating work as always! You make DIY look freaking easy. You should make a collab with LTT, and make a gaming rig from this design. :D (Just make it durable enough, Linus likes to drop things)
@V van Zeller from my understanding the framework laptop has thunderbolt 4 which means that the extra usb-c port could be used with an eGPU, hence making it into a gaming system
they have huge cnc machine so i imagine a case made from aluminium will make this 1000% better
@V van Zeller Hence the "make a gaming rig _from this design_" ;)
Very few cards can drive a 4k screen, let alone 2. The only thing you are gaming with this machine is minesweeper.
Great project, super creative, highly practical. Overall its a win.
I love the look of this- it would be amazing for running ttrpg games!
I really like this and it’s great to challenge what’s required from a “laptop”. If you always have a desk to work on then there’s no reason this form factor shouldn’t exist. I did think the taking the iPad screens out, using display port cables and a driver board was perhaps unnecessary when you could use a USB-C cable direct into the iPad and use Duet although then you have a couple of redundant batteries and limitations from using Duet, it might only support one display. Lastly, having a display above a traditional laptop makes the ergonomics better and I think that would be a better commercial product.
You make really good content, but won't a laptop on a fairly rigid and tall laptop stand be sufficient with a separate wireless keyboard, mouse and those additional screens you mentioned earlier in the video be a better solution rather than going for complete redesign of laptop? some of your projects are interesting sometimes.
Wonderful design and a very nice way to re-use an ipad screen. Thanks for the video
This might be his best project yet. I love how he doesn't shy away from picking up new things as needed, like 3d modelling, soldering, etc.
yes, not to sure about hinges, as a everyday luggable Item, like idea of the extendable legs, but as it meant to be used in the field as it where (office, hotel rooms etc.) where a really stable table are available that maybe the case, but where wobbly table is king, your going to have problems? (like it he build laptop, from almost scratch, with research, tech,. and a design departments, million pound/dollar budgets
You just gave new meaning to framework's mission.
woooow this is really impressive. Making a laptop isn't easy
Awesome project! How do the 3d printed parts cope with the heat generated by the screens and other components?
There's not much heat from a screen but the processor might be a concern.
I wont lie i was sceptical at first, but i could actually see people using something like this!
Mat you are one of purest and most creative guy that im following. i followed your channel grew from almost begining, and im soooo glad that you made it. Best of luck from Bosnia :)
I dread to think how many hours of design and thought went into this. Really impressive.
Great idea, great proof of concept. I don't know how easy it will be to add a webcam since we are using them for the calls. You probably will use a usb headset as well?
Wow, an all-in-one that's not crap and surprisingly portable. And it comes with three displays
Hey Matt, u could have made the joining line of the separate panels at different locations and increased the structural rigidity
I spent way too long not liking the aesthetics of the design before reminding myself of the practicality of the design. I'll be very interested to see what people come up with. Love your work and hearing/seeing your thought process.
you videos are always nothing short of amazing
as a framework laptop owner, i absolutely love seeing this! great work as always matt!
Your creative is impressive. You mention the nuances of dealing with a standard laptop and you're right about all the nuances. Having the laptop elevated at eye level eliminate neck fatigue. This setup does highlight a good prospect of a useful laptop system for productivity.
This is great exemple of what right to repair can lead to
This stuff blows me away. Well done
