Hey guys! I hope everyone had a happy holidays and new years. Just a reminder this is still a work in progress and less about being a practical device and more just to see what I’m able to put together. I have big plans for 2021 and a lot of ideas, but if there’s something specific you’d like to see let me know. -Matt
Pro tip- if you are comfortable using a virtual machine in mac os for games, try using the new mac mini with m1 processor for this build. It would be very powerful and smaller too
Nintendo needs to release a Switch 2 and turn the OG Switch into a clamshell with dual screens and call it 4DS with a new software library but also both consoles being backward compatible with Switch games

I don't like using 3d printed parts for such projects, i prefer using aluminum or brass, to keep things slimmer and more solid. U Channels + thin sheets for example.
yea me too i wanted to make my own handheld for 5months i thought the only way i cud do it was to buy an SBC and put it in, but sbcs are really expensive, then i gave up, then i saw this video and realized i could do this with a laptop motherboard
Awesome dude! Do you need help with 3D designing? I have multiple year of experience in fusion 360 I can help you with the basics or maybe design the case
This is absolutely incredible. Who cares if it isnt "perfect" or doesnt have a 3d printed case, this is a rad 1st step. Keep doing these awesome projects
You’re my favorite tech channel. There are a lot of other good channels but they typically only stick to the mainstream stuff of building pcs using the same steps. You step out and push what you can do with pcs. Making a handheld gaming pc, making a super small gamecube pc, and cramming itx builds in to small modified cases are what bring me back
Working on and modding retro consoles and PCs, board level or otherwise, has taught me more than anything about electrical engineering topics, repair, power delivery, AV and more.
this is one of the coolest videos ive seen in the pc modding community in a very longtime! this is super cool and cant wait to see an update when you make it even more refined!
Hey awesome stuff! I’ve done some handheld projects, know 3D modeling and learning pcb design. Would be interested to know what improvements you have in mind for this!
This is pretty cool. It's nice to see other people making portable PC gaming solutions. I'm currently using a HP ProTab 608 G1 which gives me enough juice to play games like Skyrim, Tomb Raider 2013, Rocket League and Mafia 2 at no higher than 1024x768. For storage I have individual games installed to SD cards similar to Switch game cards. As for controls, I'm using a iPega PG-9167. It's small enough to keep the whole thing from looking like I'm gaming on a laptop but probably as big as the Wii U GamePad. Today I had to change my docking solution as my official ProTab dock lost USB connectivity today :( -aside from that My whole setup makes for lots of fun hours, PC gaming on the go!

If they are ever gonna release that system at all. They would likely have to upgrade the chipset again to the v2000 line now ;P Hopefully we will get news about Alienware project UFO this CES!
Awesome video dude! I’ve always wanted to try stuff like this and you’ve inspired me to try to give it a go! (It’s also good to know that this won’t break the bank for me) ;)
Just a few days before seeing this video I had an idea of doing the same thing you are. I am glad that you are able to make a working handheld. Good luck
Nice achievement mate, a great start to handheld building. I'm sure with some reading and trial and error, you will sort a printed case. Mad hobby bench setup, tool's etc.
Crude but dope! Don’t stop what you’re doing, you’re heading in the right direction for sure. Microsoft or Sony should hire this guy, I would! This would be his video resume’.
This is clever as hell. Great prototype build. If the battery power is fried, you could look into getting some batteries to match the output of the power adapter and have power input through that for portable mode. It Will probably add more bulk than you want, and probably require some sort of BMS for charging. Looking forward to seeing more.
Bro you did a awesome job I love it looks roughly around the edges but still wow 🤩 I can only imagine if you had a way to make like a aluminum shell around it great job I look forward to hearing more about it as you go 👍🏼🔥🔥🔥
Great vid! Your USB C ribbon cables gave me a great idea to run a Gameboy Advance Lipo battery mod to the rear or even top of the console instead of the bottom. Was looking for a USB C right angle that bent along the longer side of the USB C connector instead of the short side so that the cable would run to the right or left, if that makes sense lol. Look forward to the next iteration! :)
08:40 dear my suggestion is maybe you should try put everything in the square box just like the Mini PC that's attached at the back of LCD, make a custom square box , fit everything necessary inside it, both the controllers at sides , mount LCD panel over it. Will look much better. Take example of Ryzen Handled, how all ports n stuff are managed inside.
Love this idea, always love these unorthodox PC builds! If money wasn’t an object I probably would have grabbed a ryzen 3000/4000 based embedded SoC and 3D print a shell that fit the controller pcb too just for rigidity. If you do another like this in the future maybe try a NUC board or tiger lake based system that has the horses for 1080p. Keep up the good work!
I would love to see and updated video after you "fix" the battery and make it actually perfect. As far as i can see this is a great machine so keep going 🔥👍

Interesting build, love the initiative. This looks like a real DIY alternative to all those mini PCs on the market.
Despite the amount of difficulty you went through to build this, this looks like a super sun and inspiring project to make!

100% agree!

Great stuff, you deff have Tony Stark DNA.

whats the controller you used?
imagine taking this to an airport to play while your bored and the security sees that.
it would be mad sketchy, but you can put that into a 3d printed case and it should work just fine
This is so cool, I love seeing builds like this. amazing just amazing.
Still cool two years later! Have you considered upgrading the laptop components in this unit? I would get down on that!
Matt! Please build another one using a newer APU maybe the upcoming 5th gen apu? It would be sick a handheld device. Keep up the good work!
This! Is a genuine DIY handheld PC not just a monitor! Excellent work
Damn i underestimated firstgen ryzen so much
Looks like ryzen 5000H and u version is gonna be 🔥
720p60 shud be no brainer
this might the 1st handheld to exist before the steam deck (though i did no research and could be wrong)

you build Steam Deck before it was mainstream :D

A very proud build I must say ! Jumped from watching a raspberry pi custom build to this. I am not leaving disappointed lol
what are the dimensions of the temp casing
That’s pretty freakin awesome, I’d like to see more laptop board projects like this, all sorts of things you can do.
can it run cyberpunk?
lol 720p 50% render scale
This is a mad lad move. Looking forward to where you go with this!
you should build a really powerful pc in a Xbox series x chase
The dimension won't even allow for an ITX case to fit! You'd have to make some major modification to make standard parts fit.
