And the time. Don't underestimate the amount of free time people have when they're in high school (vs when you have a family / intense job). Having said that, even with unlimited time this is such an awesome achievement and really shows the dedication. Well done!
Yeah I did some crazy things when I was in school. Had so much time.
Looks good. Could be a small step to my vision for a dock dependent palm sized pc with high powered cpu connected by a single USB C with no other ports except for micro sd. And backed up by a mini battery for power stability on low watt chargers.
Thanks! Have you taken a look at the Khadas Mind [1]? Super similar to what you're talking about with the handheld PC. [1]: https://www.khadas.com/product-page/mind
Suggestion: It would be nice to include a price list on the article.
This project is impressive as heck, but aside from being intellectually out-of-reach for most kids, it would be financially challenging as well. Last I looked, CNC aluminum blocks were well out of the reach of 99.9% of kids (but that was decades ago; perhaps prices went down).
For people wanting to follow in those footsteps, it'd be nice to know which things cost $5, which $50, $500, or $5000. Just that kind of intuition is helpful.

Really amazing and impressive work. And also an excellent resource for future explorers. One thing I didn't see mentioned in the video is the total cost of all the materials to complete one laptop not including all the experimentation cost. I'd be super curious about that.
I have the R&D BOM in a link below [1] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17arbJvPqW6koqEJwAzne... Thanks.

I have a board with old MT6572, it idles at 270mW with working CPU, even less when in semi-sleep (turns off CPU and wakes up every half a second).
For those that missed it, this Engineer is in _high school_. Byran, I have been a professional engineer longer than you have been alive, I can tell you right now that I have met very, very few people that would have the motivation, skill and sticktoitivness to pull this off.
What makes you think he is in high school
