Cyberdeck build ideas! I’ve been planning to use an SBC to construct a custom portable computer for some time, and in this video I seek inspiration from retro tech, and explore some possible hardware and form factors.

The cyberdeck build that followed this video is here: youtube.com/watch?v=PD6hc0kCIvU

And my previous videos about the retro portable hardware are as follows:

Toshiba T5100: youtube.com/watch?v=AMREjwxP20M

Atari Portfolio: youtube.com/watch?v=-B_GaZDkhU0

Psion 7: youtube.com/watch?v=6KS2YRGggmQ

And my “Pi 500 Maker Build” is here: youtube.com/watch?v=2WphP4qpaM8
