The '90s Toshiba laptops I have are 'Duracell Laptops', or 'Energizer Laptops' if you live in the US. Energizer invented the 'Energizer Bunny' that just keeps going and going and then, before Energizer could trademark it globally, Duracell stole the concept. So in the UK, when I lived there in the '90s, I thought it was strange when I saw my first 'Duracell Bunny' advert. Anyway, they keep going and going. This homemade laptop will probably cook itself to death within a few years.

Amazed that it actually runs. A couple of things. 1. You are brave sir to trust the structure of this thing to 3d printed parts heat-welded together. An aluminum frame would go a long way to making it stronger, but it does seem to hold together for now. 2. Usually, heat-pipes are brazed together with their heat-sinks, but if it works it works. 3. Totally understand the battery bit. Granted, without a battery I donno if it's still a "laptop" but overall it's kinda insane that this idea worked at all.

[@lipaiakerman]

It's still a portable one at very least

[@milithemuffin4534]

Posting for safety Do not try to use regular solder or high temp brazing on sintered heatpipes. Use proper solder with REALLY LOW MELTING POINT. The stuff manufacturers use goes liquid before leaded will soften. Severely oveheated vapour chamber will swell, might even burst.

What a genius engineering. Great work mate 👍👍

[@Lurch-Bot]

Yeah, if Forrest Gump were considered a genius engineer. OP doesn't even know how to properly de-solder some ports on a MB. This should have used hybrid Peltier/forced air cooling with PTM7950 as the TIM. When you put a desktop GPU in something like this, you had better be monitoring hot spot temp because the overall board temp sensor will likely run a lot cooler than it would with the heatsink and shroud on it. There's probably a 30C differential between the 'GPU Temp' and the hot spot, when it is usually around 10C for normal use with a desktop RX 6600. I also don't think he even came close to properly cooling the VRAM. You can always undervolt the core without much performance loss but the VRAM must be adequately cooled because it will end up using more power than the GPU die in a GPU like this. He needed a large copper plate clamped to the board which covers both the die and VRM as the primary heat spreader. There also needed to be double the number of heat pipes, which should have been brazed to the copper plate and then cast into lead. On the finstack side, the heatpipes should have been soldered to the aluminum with indium and then cast into lead. The thermal conduction path cross sectional area is far too small. JB weld is completely insufficient for thermal transfer in this application and he might as well have duct taped everything together. If I can't properly cool a large desktop replacement gaming laptop with a 10300H that draws a max of 25W and a 1650Ti that draws a max of 50W, he's screwed. His abomination will be drawing more than double that, with ad-hoc coolers that won't be anywhere near as effective as a factory cooling solution because of the half-assed way it was built. Go Peltier or go home.

Theres 2 major things i take away from this project. 1 being the amount of time designing and planning this took, which many people fail to realize. 2 just how competitive a retail version of something like this could be. I like the idea of gaming laptops and their portability, but at the end of the day, they have miniscule upgradability and are generally very overpriced compared to their desktop counterparts. With that being said, i applaud this build and keep up the awesome work!

[@crestofhonor2349]

There were a few gaming laptops with desktop hardware a few years ago but you can imagine how well those sold. We do have 18in laptops that are massive but even then they look thin compared to those

[@Mark-xk3hh]

@@crestofhonor2349Yeah the Area-51M line of laptops from Alienware are probably the most notable. They had actual desktop CPUs and the GPUs were higher tdp variants (in the R2 at least, the 2080 super could use 200 watts). They were actually pretty good but the upgradability wasn't amazing, and Alienware pretty quickly abandoned it. Intel just changes sockets too often to warrant the high price too, AMD would've been a much better option

Tip: You can use solder to put the heat pipes and heatsinks together with no performance loss

[@aserta]

There's no point, just get silver solder and look around for a business that does silver soldering locally. You support a local, and you get exactly what you want with 100% performance AND resilience. Solder can break from stress, silver solder ... does too, when you put a lever on it.

[@Lurch-Bot]

Brazing is better, and not much more difficult. The aluminium finstacks should be attached to the copper blocks with indium and the heatpipes should be brazed to the copper blocks for best results. But he really should have gone with PTM7950 and hybrid Peltier cooling. The best solution here would have been to cast the heatpipes into a thin lead block and sandwiching that between the copper plate and aluminum finstacks with indium solder.

Im glad they dont make multiple names because theres already more than enough. Its like the 4080 in my laptop, its a 4080 in mobile form, its plays everything I want and I can edit videos no issue. I just dont get people being upset about a name when whatever gpu delivers and if people cant afford the latest and greatest then theirs budget laptops that work just fine.

[@pizzapiecakexD]

Wow it turned out good. Itll perform better than most other morden laptops. I subbed. Im gonna wait for the future plans.

[@fugginrambo]

Amazing job man, I've always wondered what it would take to do this and don't think I'd have the patience or brains to finish such a project.

[@benji2716]

10:22 but connectors hehe

[@TabalugaDragon]

10:49 my gaming laptop lasts 6-8 hours on battery during office tasks, browsing, watching movies etc. So even if you're not gaming, you'd carry a huge, bulky charger with you anyway? Interesting.

[@qoloc]

How do you make your gaming laptop last that long. Longest I can do is around 1-2 hours. I have the Alienware x17 R2 with a 3070ti and an i9 12900h.

[@TabalugaDragon]

@@qoloc You probably have your Nvidia GPU enabled all the time. Switch to iGPU(Intel integrated GPU) and it'll last much longer(either using Alienware software or bios). Ryzen laptops last up to 2 times longer on battery though, some even reach 10-11 hours, like Asus TUF A15 with 90 watt hour battery.

[@qoloc]

@@TabalugaDragon that’s true I usually don’t have it enabled because it will swap to it when I’m playing games

[@TabalugaDragon]

@@qoloc you can always select the desired GPU for each game in Nvidia control enter or Nvidia app. So Nvidia GPU would only work when you are playing games and the laptop would use a low power iGPU when you're doing non-demanding tasks like browsing.

[@theyoutubeperson9832]

It would be great to see how this pc performs in terms of temps, could you test it with heavy load maybe in another vid?? Pretty interested in this project though you did incredible job and i'm speechless...

[@thesheef3068]

I really appreciate your time and effort, I think with a little bit sanding and polishing it will turn out great

[@satokotsu]

bro did what framework couldn’t

Good job. You put a lot of work into this, and the results are amazing ! As for the names of laptop CPUs and GPUs - they have the M affix, which allows the manufacturer to legally reduce their performance. And if someone is looking for a laptop with real desktop CPU and GPU, I recommend Alienware, or at least they used to have them before Dell took over.

[@darron614]

This is wild. It turned out way better than I thought it would and still looks fairly thin. You got a sub from me!

[@parkerstephenson2414]

This is incredible man! Also I always keep my laptop plugged in and removed my battery. Batteries in laptops will bulge over time so removing it makes more sense or not having one at all. You need to have your own custom laptop company. I know this took 14 months but imagine a stream line process with parts you know will work after trial and error like this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 massive kudos man

[@sakatababa]

i know this is not going to sound as much of a praise but it truly is: this is a dude i would let build me a pc i haven't trust anyone to build my machine since the 80s but this dude, he gets me

[@callomtm]

ztt just made a short on this, cool to see you given a shoutout by big youtubers

[@notfunny3397]

Thanks for proper captions❤❤ Its still missing for a few of the memes/gags but thats fine imo. Honestly baffles me that much larger channels put no effort into this.

[@Aten_Ra]

What i got from this video - "a man that has nothing to lose, has nothing to fear" or "Trial and error breeds Innovation"

this is where creative and talent combined! keep it up bro!

[@colec148]

This is super cool. Keep on being creative and sharing your work.

[@Hitsamaruable]

Amazing work bro, i would buy it without even blinking... HATS OFF BRO

[@johnbautiste]

You are on another level. Thank you for being awesome. Next time you feel like a complete failure remember how much you blessed all of us with this actual modern masterpiece.

[@aliberk3112]

Wow! I was planning to build a much more bulky version of this that would house a desktop gpu with its stock cooler, using the fans as intake. Very fun to see that somebody else made a more elegant version even if it is not as upgradable/repairable.

[@AiyanaArna]

every tip you shared is a gem, thanks for being so generous!

As a pc, cellphone, tablet, console, drone, laptop, repair dude I can say this is amazing, there's little that wasn't accommodated for and accomplished. I'm curious about the os and drivers. I'm more familiar with hardware rather than software.

[@ger5956]

This project was absolutely fantastic, amazing work dude! Can’t wait to see what else you make 😁👍🏻

[@Ryzengetsu]

I'm surprised that the person who uploaded this objectively amazing video doesn't have over 1 million subscribers yet.

Amazing work, congrats ❤ Aaaand now for the benchmarks!

[@Janahaga]

i’m always excited to see your new videos, they’re fantastic!

[@farisilmih.496]

yooo, for a diy project this is insane... well done brother

[@cybercapri]

Let me start with wow, well done. When I first saw this video I didn't realize when you say "My DIY gaming Laptop" that you meant to say you actually MADE your own Laptop so major Kudos for that. As the video begins I thought you just hollowed out some old Laptop and stuffed it with other Laptop Parts; but no, you made EVERYTHING and that's impressive to say the least. You've redefended laptop making and if anything exposed Laptops as the frauds they are for charging what they do. Of course your design in not perfect only a fool would expect it would be; but the foundation is solid. You may morph into making custom laptop cases that folks can add their own parts to or something like that. At the very least you're proving Laptops are serious money makers for those that produce them. If you can make this, I'd venture to say it's much cheaper then if you buy something already made. Of course R and D are astronomical but that's way it's called R and D because it's Research and Development and not Final Product. Now that you have a blue print I'm sure you can reproduce this and make a 2.0 version/flavor much easier and much cheaper now that you have all, or at the very least most, of the bugs worked out. Overall this is great to see someone do such a thing as I'm sure you're giving inspiration to others to DYI their own Laptop. I've tried making PC Cases over the decades and failed every time because I could not reproduce a PC Case cheaper then what I could just buy one for. regardless of what materials I would use. Again Major Kudos, this is a great project and I look forward to seeing what you get into next... Cheer's...

[@hankhulator5007]

Hi, to facilitate the sanding, use a rectangular piece of wood, tighten your sand paper band along the wood length and use 4 pins (2 on each side of the wood height) to keep it in place, it is mush better for flat surfaces (keeps them real flat). Nice contraption ;-)

[@nati0598]

Man, exactly what I need! I don't have enough money to allow myself for making mistakes, but a portable desktop is a dream of mine!

[@johnnylego807]

Such an incredible build. Truly impressive!

[@johndavis29209]

You mad man! You're telling me there's a whole series on this. Awesome.

[@entronics]

I really like what you did here. Iv'e always wanted to do something similar. I wanted to create a case just like the laptops in Cyberpunk 2077. If you wanted a quick easy way to add ports to the "laptop" you could purchase a USB docking station which would only need 1 connection and would provide, usb, hdmi / display port, card reader and more. It would be cool to see you add a battery in the future. Great work!

[@LucasMarianoGrigolato]

This is one of the best diy projects I've ever seen

[@Lurch-Bot]

This is one of the best DIY concepts I've ever seen, executed by an ignoramus who thinks JB weld is thermally conductive enough to substitute for precision machining, brazing and indium soldering. I would have soldered or brazed heatpipes to the copper plates and aluminum heatsinks and then cast it into lead to simulate heatpipes properly fitted into a production heatsink with precision machining. His solution results in a woefully insufficient thermal conduction path. He wanted something better than an off the shelf solution and convinced himself he was doing just that, when it isn't actually the case. I can almost guarantee that factory produced solutions, while they might not have fit the case, would have cooled better.
