Very impressed by what you have done here. Kudos to you on achieving designing and building a whole laptop!

#32Okay, I'll help him humble brag: Bryan is in his last year of high school. Keep building!
You study quantum mechanics in High School in the USA?

I hope this turns into something I can buy (maybe a diy kit), in the future!

#35I actually spent quite some time trying to build a custom driver for a custom screen for my Framework 13, only to burn the screen driver. Very impressed by what you have done here. Kudos to you on achieving designing and building a whole laptop!

This is incredible work for anyone, let alone a high schooler. Seriously impressive! I hope this turns into something I can buy (maybe a diy kit), in the future!

#38What I've found is that it's a bad idea to use USB extension cables; these can introduce bit errors if e.g. you copy large amounts of data (order of terabytes). It's much better to insert a USB drive directly into a carrier board, but this is not always physically possible.

#40I'm curious how the USB-C connectors are made to the outside of the enclosure. What I've found is that it's a bad idea to use USB extension cables; these can introduce bit errors if e.g. you copy large amounts of data (order of terabytes). It's much better to insert a USB drive directly into a carrier board, but this is not always physically possible.
I agree with USB extension cables concerns too! The error would increase depending on the quality (impedance, power, etc.)
