from the faq at the end:
> Why remove the screen? It wouldn’t have made the build larger!
> Keeping the screen would have significantly complicated the build, as you’d need something to keep in in place. More importantly – the brick was built to be tossed in a bag as-is. No case, no screen protector, just throw it in a backpack or suitcase and don’t worry about it!

#6This is brilliant.
When I was in sixth-form, a friend built a portable case containing a micro-ATX motherboard. No battery, but he could sit down at any of the school computers, plug into the wall, and use its peripherals with his PC. That was more than 25 years ago, I feel old now.

You should try gaming on the XReal glasses - or any of the recent XR glasses for that matter (the Viture XR Pro being my favourite). In terms of both ergonomics and experience, it's next level.

You have to bend to face the Deck's screen or hold it at eye height, neither of which are ergonomically ideal. AR glasses allow you to use it in any posture you like, including sitting fully upright or lying down.
