A few years ago, there was a dude who would regularly set up his mid tower gaming pc + 27" monitor at the Starbucks down the street from my old office. He kept buying food and drinks while he was there, they never cared.
I had an aunt here in S. Carolina whom in the 70's - mid 00's worked as a court stenographer, she had a custom lunchbox PC (desktop PC on wheels) in the late 90's, and lugged around an early IBM LCD monitor as laptops at the time were not powerful enough for her workflow, and she would sometimes work from a local coffee shop that had early WiFi, & they did not care much as she was buying food, and coffee from them while working.
I have a friend who does that because no ISP will send internet more advanced than dial-up to his house, so he goes there with his PC to do updates and shit
@@nauscakes1868 again? LInus has never been 100% sane. just imagine seeing how much the local starbucks will put up with. like of course inform the manager, but keep them other employees in the dark. like how much of set up could you do, before the employees are like "sir it looks like you are moving in"
I think you can make it work with a small form factor case and keeping a screen/keyboard in each house. Just carry the case and mouse. That's likely the cheapest option. For the price of this case you can easily get a couple decent screens (much better than this) and extra peripherals.
Imagine sitting at a Starbucks in Surrey and seeing Linus show up with this monstrosity. Also, LMG was so nice to include a guy who they fired many years ago in their ads.
Can we get more sponsor spots like that, that aren't just pitching sales points!? Those funny ads are way more engaging and I mean, half of the top comments are mentioning it haha.
Honestly, when I was working in 3D scanning in a shipyard, with the frustration of a laptop, this would have come in handy. We were already moving a lot of cumbersome equipment for 3D scanning anyway and the extra power would have come in handy. There are a couple of key things missing though. Physical touchpad buttons or a clit mouse were a massive advantage for CAD work and 3D manipulation as we had to do in the 3D scanning software.
I thought this was going to be a video about taking various laptops into starbucks & escalating it to the point where people find it socially unacceptable.
I would have liked actually trying to be competitive to a laptop in terms of price and performance. you could tweak voltages to help with battery consumption. I know it would never beat a laptop in every category at the same price point, but if I can upgrade it easier and sell components i would be spending less money for my upgrade while also generating less e-waste
Clevo has that space pretty well covered. They do up custom laptops and the high-spec ones often include desktop components. I hope we get a modular standard for mobile GPUs soon, that'd be great.
How would you compare them to be competitive? The Alibaba listing they showed was 1.250US$. It just doesn't make sense to compare it to anything really. The closet thing would be some super high-end laptop... With two added 60hz FHD monitors?
I know that there is some people who essentially work in far away locations with some industrial systems and they really need heavy performance for the software they run. So they always use high-end gaming laptops, as this is their only option. I also personally saw gaming laptop in a small server room as it was bundled with some server (that takes like 4 rows on a rack) as a "management console"
Most eDP boards don't have Display Port. Those look like just standard off the shelf boards. The OSD for those boards are on a separate PCD that would plug into the eDP boards.
Finally, we've got the Unhinged Linus back now that he dropped the beard. Beardless Linus is exactly the type of guy that you'd expect to find in a Starbucks with a giant PC/Laptop hybrid, and I love it
About 25 years ago I flew from Germany to Netherlands and a couple days later to Norway with a big ass pc to go to a LAN. Fun times, no problem at the airports.
Best advertisment I have seen in a long time. Unironically I would want that case if they would fix some minor stuff. I want a mobile PC without problems of laptops. I would not use the keyboard and touchpad anyway.
Then why not just use a normal desktop case, screw a handle in the top and find a briefcase that your monitor fits in? Better ergonomics and cheaper than anything like this.
Many years ago I used to carry my “laptop”… what I called a luggable. It had a 12” screen, 2 floppies, a 20MB HD and the keyboard locked in place covering the screen during transit. It was only 26lbs since it had no additional screens and we referred to it as the lunchbox. Oh, and you had to plug it in to power once you got on site, but at least it was portable. Toshiba built the first one I know of with built in screen… it was some sort of electro-luminescent screen in orange or green. I had an Osborne travel unit with a 5” display (crt) inside the body, which was like 26” deep.
This build is already so diy, I think Alex should just have a crack at it. Change the displays, cool everything to sub ambient, what else would he do? Well probably change the keyboard at least.
@@helper_bot by laptop parts, i was primarily referring to Laptop displays parts which you can find for low price in 2nd hand market or salvage from discarded laptops.
yeah, give it the LMG makeover. see how absolutely unhinged it can go. three monitors, why not more? it needs more cooling. upgrade the keyboard. then for fun add in as much RGB as you can.
Obvious improvements: 1, Better hinges for the side screens . 2.,Top hinges to tilt the screens up and provide some airflow behind them . 3. A hinging mechanism that lifts up the keyboard as the screen swings out . 4. A bigger touchpad by using the keyboard panel from a 17" laptop . 5. No second chamber behind the motherboard to get back to the dimensions of an early Compaq luggable . 6. A liquid AIO cooling system with soft lines and exhaust under the top handle, then the crazy fans on GPU and CPU get replaced by cooling blocks piped to the AIO . 7. An all metal back panel emblazoned with a project number and a property tag (RCMP property or LMG property) using orange glow in the dark paint .
That was the best sponsor clip I have ever seen. Also, when you are sitting and not standing this is becoming much better to look at the screens so complaining about lack of ergonomy while standing simultaneously is not 100% justified.
This is a very specific use case but I imagine this could actually be pretty useful for bands in a live setting. Rugged case, ample cooling (which laptops on stages could struggle with), and could probably record while simulating amps for multiple instruments. You'd need a solid interface and speakers but considering you can model amps almost as well as $1000+ amps, innumerable pedals and record a live session at the same time could have a crap ton of benefits
Is starbucks really the best place to test laptop gaming? Next time we need to see how comfortable it is to game on a machine like this on a trans-oceanic flight.
It doesn't have a battery, and you are not going to get mains power on a plane. Also, a 100Wh battery, the largest you can legally carry on a plane, would last about 20 minutes on this build.
For power on planes, look for a PSU that accepts 800Hz AC power in addition to the traditional 50/60 Hz . A more realistic use would be on a special technical flight such as detail mapping the North-West passage with airborne radar . Such a flight would have a bracket for securing your high end luggable with its installed data acquisition cards and atomic clock . The nVidia card would run special CUDA software decoding radar signals or be upgraded to something physically smaller to make room for the specialist cards .
It's really competing with those pro grade ones for like live events, on site editing. It obviously has the room for a top tier build, but people that use those types for work, will not put up with the ergonomics. Fairly easy solutions would be to have the keyboard detachable (and much better), and add a tilting stand to the case.
Oh COME ON LINUS! In my day we lugged around The Compaq Portable in a smoke filled airport. The weight of the computer would cause paralysis to your legs, then the cigarette smoke would overcome you & would would miss your Flight! & we LIKED it that way!
I have actually seen one of these (or maybe something very similar) Deployed at a work place. its actually super useful for the head unit/control center for heavy duty machinery that it helps to have several monitors for at once.
I completely understand why this is almost $1500, it's a one-off custom specialized thing that people would really only buy if they really needed it. I can totally see this being used for portable flight sims and/or portable/field 3D modeling workloads (like SOLIDWORKS simulation and such). It's probably also why it's 1080p only, since it's not really targeted for gaming and 1080p is plenty for most CAD and simulation workloads. Same reason a 100Mbit, 8 port industrial ethernet switch is $200, it's specialized and if you need it you're gonna pay full price since it's probably a business buying it.
Even then, a business will probably just go and buy several of those overkill Asus gaming laptops with detachable fans and full-sized GPUs in them. That is MUCH more practical and can do all of the simulation and CAD work you could ever need onsite since those can have comparable specs to a full tower PC. Especially if its going to be a big operation out in the field, that means the possibility of portable generators, which means AC power access so the laptop runs at its fullest speed when plugged in. However, it is of course never a substitute for a full desktop PC so perhaps in very specific use cases, this may work better. In my opinion, I'd be willing to bet most people put up with a few of the shortcomings of a laptop (raw CPU/GPU power) so it makes their workflow less bulky and cumbersome. I'd rather wait the extra hour it would take to calculate a simulation on a "slower" laptop then lug around that giant piece of junk. I'm going to be working all day so it wouldn't make much difference. Unless you're on a time crunch, in which case then you don't want to waste time. Time is money so maybe someone would have a use for this "portable" case.
still 1/2 the size of the LAN PC I used to lug around with built in displays , still amazed it worked with jack an exterior damage after it went for a fall down 2 flights of cement steps
I have actually always wanted this. I don't want the compromise of performance of a laptop nor the lack of an upgrade path. Which framework pretty much answered the upgrade path issue, but its a tailored upgrade path rather than full modularity. I need a setup that can travel. Not a laptop that can pc Or a pc that can laptop It has to be the full setup bar the desk. It can chill in the car and travel around with me so i can set up whenever. So this is a step in the right direction, for sure!
As someone that used to carry a full desktop setup on the road, something like this makes some sense...but the implementation makes it fail where a laptop that costs the same as the case alone will do a better job. Working where I'd be set up in a hotel room for 2 to 4 weeks at a time, then move to another hotel, for half the year, I had a Coolermaster CM Scout case that worked great, and a suitcase that a 22" monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc would fit in. Eventually replaced with a laptop that did just as well. The thing is, there is zero point in lugging the bulk if the monitors suck and the cooling sucks. a $1500 laptop will work great, and for the cost of the other components you can get really good portable monitors.
When i saw the intro animation i went to check this vid wasn't made back in 2016 i love and miss the old style of content especially gaming content throughout late 2015 to early 2019/ late 2018 best social media era 😢
I think the extra air holes on the side panel are a bad idea. Those are going to be acting as exhaust, and they're right next to the intake, which means some of your intake is going to be exhausted right back out before it can cool down the system. If you need additional exhaust, consider making some holes on the sides of the case instead, further away from the intake. There's room on the PSU side for additional ventilation holes and you might even be able to sneak a small exhaust fan in behind the GPU. Next to the PCIe brackets there's also some room for ventilation holes.
I don't know why but it's fun to spot places I know. It's like when a movie is filmed where you live and you recognize places. I go to that Starbucks all the time lol.
You could have mounted the CPU fan in the other direction. Because it looks like at 12:51 the CPU cooler is Blowing against the Case fan killing the Air flow.

I have actually always wanted this.
I don't want the compromise of performance of a laptop nor the lack of an upgrade path.
Which framework pretty much answered the upgrade path issue, but its a tailored upgrade path rather than full modularity.
I need a setup that can travel.
Not a laptop that can pc
Or a pc that can laptop
It has to be the full setup bar the desk. It can chill in the car and travel around with me so i can set up whenever.
So this is a step in the right direction, for sure!
As someone that used to carry a full desktop setup on the road, something like this makes some sense...but the implementation makes it fail where a laptop that costs the same as the case alone will do a better job. Working where I'd be set up in a hotel room for 2 to 4 weeks at a time, then move to another hotel, for half the year, I had a Coolermaster CM Scout case that worked great, and a suitcase that a 22" monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc would fit in. Eventually replaced with a laptop that did just as well. The thing is, there is zero point in lugging the bulk if the monitors suck and the cooling sucks. a $1500 laptop will work great, and for the cost of the other components you can get really good portable monitors.
i adore this sort of shenanigans > this is impractical
about 10 years ago I saw a kid at the mall food court with an iMac on the table, thanks for awakening that specific memory with that intro
Gimme bts of both those ads.
When i saw the intro animation i went to check this vid wasn't made back in 2016 i love and miss the old style of content especially gaming content throughout late 2015 to early 2019/ late 2018 best social media era 😢
I think the extra air holes on the side panel are a bad idea. Those are going to be acting as exhaust, and they're right next to the intake, which means some of your intake is going to be exhausted right back out before it can cool down the system. If you need additional exhaust, consider making some holes on the sides of the case instead, further away from the intake. There's room on the PSU side for additional ventilation holes and you might even be able to sneak a small exhaust fan in behind the GPU. Next to the PCIe brackets there's also some room for ventilation holes.
Honestly, for an in-person LAN party, with the right medium build you could totally use this
Something about the color grading this whole video is different and i love it.
That Ridge ad is the best ad I have ever seen in my life!
I don't know why but it's fun to spot places I know. It's like when a movie is filmed where you live and you recognize places. I go to that Starbucks all the time lol.
You could have mounted the CPU fan in the other direction.
Because it looks like at 12:51 the CPU cooler is Blowing against the Case fan killing the Air flow.
Wold have loved to get more than 3 seconds of that starbucks segment.
Dat sponsor spot though! Was not prepared for that. Floatplane is missing out.
I know it’s like always practical, but make every sponsor spot this amazing!
That Ridge wallet add was 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣
Super cool, huh? 😎
I got this case too I fixed the floppy monitors was quite easy and i také that"Laptop" around the world for business and gaming
