World's Smallest MacBook
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2024
- This is the world's smallest MacBook Pro (also known as the Macbook Mini). This DIY mini laptop build features a light-up Apple logo on the back of the screen. MagSafe power adapter/charger, and a USB 3.0 port! What more could you ask for? This DIY laptop build has been one of the more challenging projects I've undertaken due to how compact/small all of the parts were.
Benchmark: It runs Minecraft and Chrome without issue. :-)
Parts: I used a Raspberry Pi 4 to power this build and iRaspbian for the OS.

i have been subed since the apple mac
@@haydenearle-mitchell4351 Thank you!!! I appreciate the support!!!
@The ChallengeWorking on it! I just moved to a larger workshop so I'm having to set up all my gear, but it should be live soon!
@The Challenge Thanks and I did! It seemed like this election lasted forever!
I did it
Coming from TH-cam home feed recommendations, I find it INCREDIBLY weird how you just cut and destroy the connectors instead of removing them correctly.
I can't quite put my finger on the why, but your removal process feels like obliteration. :P
My top suggestion: get a hot air soldering/desoldering station. Makes removing unwanted surface mount components that much easier and cleaner.
The cheaper wireless keyboards most often have a separate touchpad module, which would've let you put the touchpad in the proper place for this build.
Thanks for the tip!
@@MichaelPick get a 858D for the beginning they are dirt cheap...
15-20€/$ incl. Delivery
I’d love to see you turn a Mac Mini into a portable machine with its own screen, keyboard, etc.
Oh that would be cool! Maybe in a future video!
@@MichaelPick awesome!
Well done bruh ! That's some crazy dedication on your part.
Thank you George! This build took waaaaay longer that I originally planned, but I think it was worth it. Stay tuned for my next build!
Wow, just wow. Your patience, dexterity, just the idea is brilliant. I am fascinated by Raspberry pi and watching you put this together was great. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this build!
Wow. That's an *OLD* school soldering iron ya gots there! lol.
It's been through a lot!
A probably easier trick to eliminate screw heads is one that Apple uses on many of their products: magnets. Mount a magnet on a boss in the case, mount another on the faceplate, snap it in place, and it will never fall off, but will be easy to service.
I like this idea!!! I'll keep that in mind for my future builds!
Wow !! amazing ! Which software do you use for 3d design?
It is really an amazing work. I'm really impressed with this. I have a favor to ask, how can I get the same main board in your video which support raspberry Pi and Pi Zero?
Awesome build bro, Can i know how you made or where you get the gpu for you smallest gaming PC?
because i am going to buit that pc after watching your video.
I like the build overall but was a dremel really the best tool for slimming things down? Surely a $20 hot air station would do a much better job.
That might be a good option! I tried de-soldering the HDMI port on a screen for this video, and totally destroyed the traces underneath it, so that’s why I opted for the Dremel, as I could control exactly what material I removed. But a hot air station might be a good option!
I used a Dremel to slim down my pi and it still works.
Nice job! A thinkpad version of this would be awesome.
That's a really good idea...
good job bro, may u have 1 million subscribers soon.
Thank you so much!
Nice work! Just found this video and I did the same Dremel work with the standoffs on the same screen 😆 I hope my portable turns out as good as yours
Here some suggestions:
As diffusor: white baking paper. Covering the screws on the front: black venyl sticker. Paint: Elohing spray paint better cooler: 3D printer turbofans in the back
I have an older Chromebook with useless specs but gorgeous screen 1080p and surprisingly great speakers, I found your video searching for a way to replace the internals with a raspberry pi 4 o other better hardware, it would be a great build video for you as there is a ton of these devices around catching dust.
Mine is a Toshiba Chromebook 2 cb35, besides the horsepower it's a great device, would be a shame to discard it.
Also, I would assume your makeshift hdmi cable doesn’t work b/c of reflections on the HDMI bus. You can’t just solder high speed things like that b/c it just doesn’t work the same as soldering a button on.
u deserve success on youtube bro🤞🏻
Is there a specific reason you used a dremel to remove the components and not a soldering iron? it makes my skin crawl...
Dremel is faster and makes sparks. :-)
Another trick that Apple used on the MacBook Air models, was making the case wedge-shaped, so the front edge, which is what people see the most of, is much thinner than the rear, where all of the electronics is.
They really mastered the design of making things as thin/sleek as possible!
@@MichaelPick I'd bet there's some serious Dremel happening in THEIR labs!
Great job bro. 🧡💚❤
Can you please make a detailed video on how to install I-OS system on raspberry pi :)
Hey nice vid wheres the stl file for the chassis I'm thinking about making one thank you
This is awesome see I like this kind of stuff subscribed!!
Imagine taking it everywhere you go and people will be shocked.
I like it!!!!!! I’ll hire that guy to do that for me :)
Is there any place I could find the screen you used?
It's called an "EVICIV 7 Inch Portable USB Monitor" on Amazon.com :-)
Use the m1 logic board from the new MacBook Air. That thing is tiny as hell and with the battery would make a good handheld pc
Brother u are a Literal genius am definitely subscribing
Is that running TwisterOS? If not, what OS?
It's running iRaspbian.
Wow! That macbook looks cute!
Thank you!
Exceptional work, congratulation. I wish to see what you could do to my two treasured but
Useless Sony Clie Pegs!
Michael
Amazing!
You're amazing! Thank you!
Can you please link the display you used on this comment? Thanks! I have a tablet that im making, the display you used comes with everything.
Is that running macOS?
What did you use for the screen?
I used this: "EVICIV 7 Inch Portable USB Monitor" If you search for that on Amazon it should come right up!
My creative engineer idea for you would be to make something that could play the mobile game summoners war on a mini device with 4K....
would love to see your creative mind at work and also that nice printer 😂
i saw snazzylabs making the m1 mac mini as small as possible, you can probably use those parts and make a genuine mac
Is this the USA or Canada if Canada I could of soldered it for you and sent it back to you I have a tiny tiny tiny soldering tip good for that stuff
How did you get Mac OS running on a RPi?
It's called iRaspbian, which you can get by either installing it directly or using Twister OS, which gives you the option to theme your desktop as windows 10, 7, XP, or light and dark osx themes as well as its original twister os theming with just a few clicks and a reboot
someone hide the dremel and drill from you.... LOL
seriously though... wow. amazing build.... you could just heat gun the connection for hdmi
Keep going bro
I will! New build in the works! :-)
What app you edited?
@Michael Pick Could you try to make: Mini Sony Playstation 2 with Raspberry Pi 4 ? I already saw someone making even smaller version of Ps Classic, and as owner of one, iam interested of small function version of PS2
Great idea! I'll add it to my list. :-)
hi, i liked the video.
i have an idea: diy macbook air mini!
Awesome bro that's actually not easy
Thank you! This was one of the harder builds!
Finally a laptop for curious birds and cats.
3d printed human VS real human 😂
Wow that handles Minecraft well
Nice content! Just need to upgrade your tools lineup…I guess? Haha
"INFINITE IQ"
Wow this is litttt
You got a hand exercise lol
ideas: you can build an iMac m3, mac mini(macro),iPhone
How did u hackintosh it
Does anyone have the old Twister OS/iRaspbian? They changed the Apple logo to their logo.
With the amount of mods you made to that pi screen it would have made more sense to buy a standard one. Unless you just had that one already.
I’d rather use a higher resolution screen and an odroid v8.
I really want to make something like this with a lattepanda so I can use it as a mobile music production setup
I really want to do a latte panda build! maybe in the future,,,
Can i get the link to 3d model of this mac book
I didn't release the model, as it has the Apple logo in it, and I don't want apple suing me. lol
Amazing videos and great channel! I love the builds and the use of the 3D printer. I will follow you with great interest :)
Thank you Noah! It's amazing what 3D printers allow you to create. Stay tuned! I have a really big project coming up next...
Only one cuestion.
Why an apple instead a raspberry?
Love the result, bruh.
I failed you... haha Thanks bro!
Did you sell them
This video turned a shitty day into a special day
I'm glad this video could make your day a little better!
0:19 what is this text transition!!!!
Oh, It’s an adobe after effects text explosion animation..
Awsome
If u placed a battery or a powerbank in it it would be a real mac book mini laptop
If I will buy this how much it will cost me
Smol boi
Yay a new vid! I love these, dude
Thank you! Really appreciate the support!
Still waiting for a g4 cube 😁 also congrats on that build. Macbook mini idea is amazing!
Thank you!
Hay I was wondering if you could help me make a raspberry pi laptop 3d model for my own laptop home project. I have ben searching online for 2 days now and have not gotten anywhere and when I try to 3d model it ends up looking so much like a toy than a laptop and I also don't even know how to make screw holes to screw to case together it would help if you could help me with this and when the models done you can send the 3d model download link on my discord or gmail thanks if you can I can also send the blueprints for the case to help
I love your video
Thank you! More videos coming soon!
3d model woud be so helpful plsss
Want display link
I wanna make a bigger one like a 13 inch one or 16 inch one
also add spakers down
Keep up the good work. Your channel will be trending soon.
That's the goal! Working on the next video now! :-)
Imagine this guy making a mini iphone or xbox
How did you installed mac os?
I used iRaspbian. There are a lot fo really good tutorials on youtube for this.
This is so so so awesome! Nice video, congrats
Thank you!!!
He's going to eventually get sponsored by coca-cola
👍
Thanks!
I have to thank you 😁
can you send be a 3b models pls
I want to buy on of this
Took lessons from 8-Bit guy. If you don't have the proper screw driver just use a power tool.
Power Tools are the ultimate universal key.
Can I have some raspberry pi
Круто!
nice build, i'd love to see more
Thank you! I'm working on the next video now!
hey you can make this thin
This is quite a beautiful build. That transparent Apple must be a head-turner. Seems like it would almost make it worthwhile to go to Starbucks just to whip that out and fire it up! And making a plate with holes for the keys was truly going beyond the call - most of us would have just made a hole that they whole keyboard sticks through.
I just bought a 7" display to build into something like this. By shopping around a little, I was able to find one that had very little that needs to be removed - just the HDMI, the MicroUSB, and a switch for the backlight. No standoffs, no buttons. I DO have to cut off the mounting tabs, though. No biggie - those cutoff wheels are my most-often-used tool for the Dremel.
I was considering replacing the double USB connectors with single ones (didn't even think of just cutting off the top ones!), but instead I have decided to make the case roughly the layout of the original Toshiba 1100 laptop, which will give the Pi and the batteries space behind the hinge all to themselves rather than having to stack anything at all on top of the Pi. (The batteries are from a torn-down 10 A*hr power bank, which has four 18650 cells.) In principle, this should allow me to make the whole thing less than an inch thick when closed, because the display closes over the keyboard, which will be not much thicker than yours. Also, I'll be using the touchscreen as my main pointing device, allowing me to use larger keys on a 50% keyboard with 17mm keys. I'll be going a little wider than your case, since it will be the keyboard dictating the width rather than the display, so the overall footprint will be larger than yours - I'm looking at about 210mm wide x 180mm deep x 25mm tall (8.25" x 7" x 1").
We each have our own preferences - I like to think of Pi builds ("cyberdecks", mini-laptops, bug-out box builds, whatever) as being the technician's equivalent to a Jedi knight's light saber. Again, awesome, inspirational build.
First, let me thank you for taking the time to check out my build, Second, wow! You really put a lot of time and effort into your design!!! I'm impressed! Please let me know when you build this! I can't wait to see it! I love builds like this!!!
that 's awesome!
Thank you!!!
This is pretty amazing 😍
Thank you!!! Stay tuned for the next build! It's even better than this one... :-)
What you should be famous omg ima tell everyone I know you need like 10 30 mill
Thank you! Spread the word! :-) New video dropping soon!
give the 3d documents!!!!
Yaayy more minis. This is so cool 😍😍😍
More builds coming! :-)
Bruh You know you could just remove the HDMI using a solderer right? less messy and if you need it ever again you can solder it back.
It's very difficult to desolder an HDMI connector with a soldering iron. The Dremel was a lot easier/faster, so that's what I went with.
Came for the nerf gun, stayed for the page
Awesome Bro!
Thank you! I think you’ll really like the next project I have planned!
why doesn't he just move the real one in the position of the fake one?
World's smallest iwatch. Maybe like a ring or something.
I'll have to plan this one out! Sounds like a really cool project if I can pull it off.
@@MichaelPick Man if you can make these mini macbook and imac possible you can pull of anything.
