Using Framework parts to make a portable all-in-one computer [video]

I love this kind of project as a side effect of Framework's work - the fact that you can separately buy all of the various components of a laptop at a reasonable price with no restrictions enables so many new creative use cases. I really like that people are starting to play with form factors like this - anything that pushes us towards more diversity and customizability in computing is great.

One of the things I still think about doing is just removing the top screen of my framework and just using a pair of those AR glasses as its main monitor, keeping the bottom chassis as a keyboard&#x2F;touchpad&#x2F;mainboard. That&#x27;s how I end up using my laptop at night anyway, this just avoids the awkward screen.<p>Or if I were to go a step further, retro-fit it into the a ThinkPad keyboard&#x2F;trackpoint chassis...

I just made a thing for my thinkpad that slides up from the back with two 2k ipad screens so I can have the same ergonomic benefits this provides with the screen up high.<p>Cool project I might build one.

I just bought an iPad Pro. That sits on the tables fine with a flip case on it.<p>Also attracts zero attention by customs.
