i was searching for this comment

[@Trigger-ZX]

made one using a arduino back in my high school science fair. good stuff

[@chrissmith6028]

I know someone needs to make a "real" pip-boy

[@jd906]

​@@chrissmith6028 I'm actually working on this currently

[@tchambers807]

the ammo can was so cool. that would be a fun conversation piece in a ham shack

[@georgejones5019]

Added this to my homelab playlist to use for cyber tools and fun.

[@mr_noodler]

They have a great look for a novelty item, a fun thing to do with a Raspberry Pi. I will stick to a laptop for my computing needs

[@diegoolivera6081]

Very cool video! Thanks for sharing.

[@darth_dan8886]

I'm definitely a fan of the retro laptop one. Compact, awesome features, and absolutely amazing build quality.

[@ThailandDantotherescue]

I once glued an inflatable clown toy to a remote control car and spray painted it silver. We didnt have youtube back in 1979... but trust me it was epic!

[@ROBO_Roundup]

What a great project 👍

[@isthattrue1083]

The multi screen one was cool

[@Jazariah-mr5sy]

Wow, this is totally inspiring. I need to start building these too. Thanks for this video!

[@FuentesCrippen]

message me on how to build these experiments

[@marc-andrevoyer9973]

These look amazing but also painful to use. Loving the uniqueness though!

[@TheBubbaMan]

Number 4 ROCKS!

[@servidor712]

excelente ! gracias

[@jacobwetherby]

I like the Bladerunner-esque look of some of these... it reaches into the art world... very hip

[@user-eb2bn3qy8o]

Wow, these are some seriously impressive cyberdecks! I love how they are all powered by Raspberry Pi and can be customized to fit individual preferences. The creativity and innovation on display in this video is truly inspiring. I can't wait to try my hand at building one of these in 2023! Thank you for sharing this amazing content.

Project number 7 is my dream come true it's amazing

[@lukedavis436]

I could never bring myself to mutilate one of my old laptops... But hell feckin yes do i want a 6 Screen deck.

[@oleurgast730]

Number 4 reminds a bit the C64 SX. Would be realy nice for emulation. 2 9pin dSub connectors for old joysticks should be added...

[@vasilkraychev]

Number 7 is cool

[@blacksand.]

The Hanimex 🤩😍😍😍

[@davidmcintosh19]

Hey I have that exact same CRT portable tv. Used to be my moms. I remember watching Pokémon and Johnny Quest at her job.

[@williamgodfrey2355]

i would have to say number 7 is the best could think of a few deign changes to make it better

[@cyberjey]

Let's build them all out of passion

[@VladIDrago]

Good gadgets for movies.

[@Sebastian-cn8lh]

i would love to see this models on games like Fallout

[@RND_ADV_X]

You might like my military grade deck, it's a video called Halliburton Attache Surveillance Computer, and it's designed to resemble an actual 1970s era nuclear football! The fabled "big red buttons" of the cold war era?

[@Xanadhu]

n5 is the mos practical (and useful) on this list

[@bossboss-qw8dt]

nice

[@fran13r]

what can you do with these that you couldn't with a cheap old laptop?

[@white_sun078]

Half of cyberdecks from this video like "wow it's a little bit another box".

[@dipanjanmandal1771]

this the knowledgeable video and create a new one and I will I know, thanks for the video

[@metalgearfox7273]

these are really cool, but what could you use these for exactly?

[@medes5597]

All of them, apart from the wrist mounted one, have we much functionality as a raspberry pi 400. So pretty much everything a chrome book can do. The one with a panda is a straight up windows laptop. They're usually used for in field trouble shooting, pen tearing, coding for micro controller devices and similar. The large number of pi accessories - thermal cameras, cameras, android interfaces, arduino interfaces, massive IO expansions, etc make them perfect for low foot print devices that you can use in place of an entire laptop

[@crownwizdom]

People be real deal engineering

[@JohnColgan.]

I liked the one on your thumbnail, but couldn't see the review of it!!!

[@robertomaximilianosilveira8768]

Love seeing atomic pi in this list

[@Prod.MiraKami]

the crt looks like a real life pip boy

[@Zenas521]

Beyond being eye candy, do they do anything practical? What do you do with a Cyberdeck that you can't do with a tablet or laptop?

[@Darthdoodoo]

Make cool KZbin videos about it 😆😆

[@DonVigaDeFierro]

Force you to learn more about how computers work by having to procure some components by yourself.

[@ClandestineMerkaba]

You want Iron Man or not?

[@claudiameier666]

yup have to start somewhere

[@georgejones5019]

Cyberdecks come from the table top game of Cyberpunk, they're replaced later by instertable chip based cyberdecks. Real world, they're just cool gadgets but can be deployed usefully as small covert computers for hacking cyber security purposes.

[@ArmSoM]

great job！

[@ozpilot8083]

You forgot to mention how hard it is to get these plug on screens to work with Raspberry Pi's! I just bought 3 different types of Waveshare screens to try on my Pi's - Pi 4, Pi Zero and Pico.....none worked without hours of google searches and endless nano edits of the config.txt file....back to x86.

[@monochrome_linux]

The setup on the Thumbnail looks like the Wither from Minecraft lmao

[@johnty505]

Cyberdecks: Innovative, creative, often beautiful and always moronic 😂😂

[@JapanShopBrazil]

What does moronic mean?

[@PsychoP1984]

​@JapanShopBrazil it means stupid

[@G_de_Coligny]

You forgot “useless” Yes it can do things… none of them being useful or optimized unless you live in the 90’ and desperately need a VT100 terminal emulator 24/7

I gotta stop watching videos like this. I keep spending money on projects and then find myself never using it.

[@Trigger-ZX]

that 50 cal case made me wanna bust

[@knightshousegames]

So is the idea here just to reinvent the laptop? I feel like the 6 screen model is the only one that really feels like it offers any meaningful utility over a thinkpad of a decade ago

[@user-re3eu4og7d]

Здорово. Вы на высоте.

[@hongopocoporongo1105]

why the best one is the last one?

Nice setup.. make me wanna make one for my iPad Pro m2 :D which I still owe first months payment of 500 lol.. to phone company for 3 year loan :D then after its 30 bucks.. (paying for screen and apple pen 2 lol and keyboard case :P) anyways.. would be nice to have 4 of those on one side and 2 big ones on top.. nix nizzniceee

Only good for fun for 15 mins. Mini laptops are still better to carry around

[@clangerbasher]

Can somebody give me please a definition of cyberdeck please? I seem to have passed the idea by.

[@mr.sexyman123]

A cyberdeck is a custom made small laptop-esque portable computer. The main appeal is usually building them since they usually use SBC boards and as a result aren't powerful enough for day to day use.

[@georgejones5019]

They gained popularity from the tabletop cyberpunk game from the 80s. Cyberdecks were science fiction of small form computers used for hacking or normal computer work.

[@clangerbasher]

@@georgejones5019 Thanks young man. 🙂

[@G_de_Coligny]

Gadget for Poseurs who want to play with computers while having no use for computers. In the 90 these guy’s hobby was to “install linux” Not use linux… just install it … then after realizing there is nothing else to do after installing apache and samba, format c: and go back to play minesweeper on windows 95 osr2

[@tomyyoung2624]

Yes, mine just straight up crashes upon joining a game.

[@johndewey7243]

At t=72 those "switches" were already present in the TV they started from. Do all Canadians talk like this?

[@poolhall9632]

I made a shitty laptop from used parts and called it a “cyberdeck” so it feels a lot cooler than it is. 😣

[@abutgame8287]

[@SciencewithRishit]

whats cyberdeck?

[@RoyCaratozzolo]

a waste of time it seems...

[@exhumedlegume8870]

Gimmicky, often retro-style, mini computer. If I'm not mistaken, the term comes from 1980s cyberpunk literature, and/or the old Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing game, in which "cyberdecks" were used to connect to the "cyberspace," a sort of 1980s vision of a full-immersion Internet. Think Metaverse, except not embarrassing, and piped directly into your brain through a neural connection.

[@danielbolanos6389]

i feel like the 2 in 1 wrist mounted cyber deck is the only quality one here. everything else is just a laptop with extra steps

#9 was the only true cyberdeck everything else was just DIY laptops. #1 was the most aesthetic but still needed a wrist mount or hand grip plus a HUD of some kind. Without it, its still a laptop.

[@jackjohnstone4209]

Wait til they hear about laptops

[@youtube-ventura]

So, a "cyberdeck" is a portable computer with a tiny screen?

[@exhumedlegume8870]

Essentially, yes. Gimmicky, often retro-style, mini computer. If I'm not mistaken, the term comes from 1980s cyberpunk literature, and/or the old Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing game, in which "cyberdecks" were used to connect to the "cyberspace," a sort of 1980s vision of a full-immersion Internet. Think Metaverse, except not embarrassing, and piped directly into your brain through a neural connection.

​@@exhumedlegume8870I'm glad someone else knows their origin. Once sci-fi. They're now real. But our phones make up most of a cyberdeck.
