Doubting my Sanity (Starting my DIY Desktop-Laptop Build)

I built a laptop using 3d printed parts, but reinforced and finished properly to look similar to an actual production laptop you might find in a store.
All the parts are desktop hardware, with a full-power CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 5600X) as well as a full power desktop GPU (XFX RX6600).
This build video is part 1 of 2.

More customizable than Framework 🔥🔥🔥

[@rollbacked]

probably cheaper too

[@truegigachad11]

Ah a arch user 😮

I love the idea of this video, I think the only thing stopping you from getting a ton of views on this video is the ending that's forcing us to wait for a part two, honestly if this was a 20 min vid with a finished project in the end I'd totally watch it

[@tyleg3nd]

It’s not really that simple - a project like this takes many weeks and a small KZbinr without any content would benefit much more from multiple videos instead of one.

[@V3RT3X_PINNACLE]

@@tyleg3nd yeah what he suggested just brings more comfort to us the viewer but we also have to think about him lol

[@Hlilii]

Honestly, 63k views in 2 weeks for a second video doesn't seem bad

[@V3RT3X_PINNACLE]

@@Hlilii It is though for this type of quality.

[@SpecterMinecraft]

@@V3RT3X_PINNACLE yeah you're completely right, just wanna say that us thinking about him is not what will bring more views, it's just a suggestion for if he wants to gain more views, when you're thinking about views your number one priority is the comfort of the viewer :)

[@TheRealDrae]

Not only the madman is actually doing it, he's poking fun at all those dumb not-really-laptop projects, and the subtitles are actually readable unlike on channels with millions of subs. Respect.

[@gankjhie]

Such a great video idea too, and one of the first successful laptop projects I've really ever seen

[@shawazonfire]

This one doesn't have a battery, so it seems like the projects that are actually portable are closer in function to a laptop than this version.

[@mind_11]

Just the fact alone that you're doing this project with those limitations is insane enough. Excited to see where this goes

[@IIBLANKII]

Why is no one talking about the fact that this is the 2nd video of this channel. How can this guy make a quality video better then a good bit of mid tech youtubers, while also hitting a home run on such a difficult task.

[@markwing05]

Right? It's so well shot and edited. Commenting for the algorithm.

[@titanalpha4774]

You said it guy's! ❤ This dude is on point......keep it up brother!

[@MizZzChAvVvOzZz]

He studied and followed the examples to a tee. He took it SERIOUSLY.

[@iZynx_]

This is criminally underrated, i saw the thumbnail and i thought this would be someone with hundreds of thousands of subs, but nope, a small KZbinr with amazing potential!

[@niceright181]

I agree

[@PlatinAviation]

Same!

[@FediFF1]

Underrated Asf This is gonna blow up🔥

[@freemanbam]

Where’s the 1 million subs at?

[@g3_]

lol 😂

[@Noob_Adventures]

uhm they are coming

[@martinvergaravargas4301]

I'm gonna be here waiting for the next part. I'd love to make something like this in the future

[@MaximaEagle]

Laptop GPUs in the future should be like expansion modules you can insert on the back of your laptop.

[@character640p]

At this point, just use the external gpu.

[@wongvieian1694]

Laptop gpu extension modules used to exists, then they got removed by manufacturers and went extinct, like swappable laptop cpus, because upgradability would allow you to use your laptop too long

[@liono256]

Framework laptops already do this 😅

[@wongvieian1694]

@@liono256 i like framework but they dont sell world wide, besides, mountains of bad and poorly designed laptops still exists

[@wongvieian1694]

Still wish for swappable laptop cpus to come back

[@csolisr]

The most surprising part of the build is that it's incredibly close to my own personal desktop computer in terms of specs. Like, with the right tooling I could viably portabilize my own PC

[@g3_]

I didn’t even realize I was watching a small KZbinr from the quality of content you make! Keep up the great work, you definitely deserve more subs!

[@minhquangtruong566]

i look forward to seeing part 2 !

[@RaphaV2]

nice job, i like the idea and how it looks at the end

[@wolfrust0]

I came here expecting a bulk laptop but that's way better than my own laptop😭😭

[@ItzLoki432]

Honestly love this idea, I find it super interesting and I can’t wait to see a part two

[@HDonYoutube]

This is seriously impressive stuff and I hope we get a part 2 very soon 👏

[@typothetical]

Crazy the amount of detail and passion that went into making this, and the reason im saying this is because he custom wrote proper subtitles instead of just using auto generated ones

[@DultimateGamer]

This video gave me a reason to live for, I am so excited for pt 2 and Im wondering if the next printed revision will need vents on the bottom. I also wonder if he'll be able to put a battery in there that wont explode

[@-Ventrix-]

How do you not have at least 50K subs?!?!?!

[@Acradasa]

i always learn something new and interesting from your content!

[@gigahertzmedia734]

This is insane! I think you could try liquid cooling it as a radiator is still going to be kinda thin but much better than any custom designs. Also, you should try adding a battery (even if it only lasts 30 seconds lol)

[@abdulmalikyakubu3045]

I legitimately cannot wait to see the rest of this video

[@zenithxzx]

ive been checking it for days now

[@arandomboi3353]

This is so cool, can’t wait to see part 2

[@Clownkiller9]

Looking good so far! I thought you'd go the water cooling route for better cooling and with the space restraints.

[@teema.everythingtech]

Great video bro 👍

[@CryBlade]

This brings me back like 9 years with PC-Welt's "Höllenmaschine portable" I will be waiting for the next part

[@Art_bor]

dang you made me subscribe by that part 1 of 3 part imagine if diy perks made this video with all of his machines and brass parts

[@anyketnaskar]

just 2 videos and you're already rocking

[@randomcrashingfacility31]

can't wait for how it turns out!

[@vdBlogMaster]

It is an amazing project! I wish you success with it!

[@kingwolf3763]

this vid is soo underrated cant with to see how the laptop turned out and why u only have 2.5k subs u should have it least 1m subs and keep doing vids like this 👍👍👍

[@davidyusaku]

here before this blows up! but dude... insane idea & execution also love the "fuck around and find out method" really scientific ahaha, just like me

[@imjustvibinboi2406]

you should use a UPS to connect to your powersupply to make it portable

[@Echyy]

This is amazing, definitely going to go viral

[@36KACRE]

Why the subs are too low This guy needs some raise

[@HudsonAnderson-rn1yj]

Idk why u remind me of this but ur humor is almost exactly like the stuff you’d find in the old aperture labs in portal 2 😂

[@ABugetBaller]

I know this is pretty late but try using mini dc fans along the GPU and CPU heatsink to further help with cooling also get a carbon fiber/metal baseplate for the laptop as in my experience putting a motherboard with just heatsinks will produce a LOT of heat so if its in your budget get better thermals such as thermal padding everywhere that most laptops companies use to keep temperatures low without active cooling also please don't rip out motherboard parts and then check if the board is responding speaking from experience motherboard are the most stupidly complicated pc parts after the PSU you don't want to mess up the power grid or such in the motherboard and lastly keep up the good work.

[@Iyomux]

I'm subscribing to this channel early on because I see that it will be popular

when do you post part 2?

[@yungg8015]

dang that looks sick!

[@Planet..]

so nice bro !

[@xPLAYnOfficial]

So this is a cool project but I do find it kind of funny that you started this with the idea of making it fully upgradeable with off-the-shelf parts only to then permanently modify every single piece of it. Doesn't really make the laptop fully upgradeable anymore when you have to make bespoke parts for each piece.

[@trigon_zz]

how is this not viral. Great work btw

[@bomba76]

Actually crazy and underrated as hell

[@aronnoroy8757]

you can use mini graphics cards like rtx 4060 mini version

stick a 4090 in there and cook ya breakfast

If the case is made with metal, the heat could be a lot better. Apple does this on all of their macs.

[@thesupremeorg]

And they heat up to the temperature of the sun. Imagine that with desktop heat?

[@Ma.t-15]

Estoy esperando que salga el próximo video para saber cómo lo haran portátil ya que consume mucha energía

lets wait for this fire DIY laptop 😂😂

[@itsyaboikirbo]

make sure that the JBWELD isnt electrically conductive

You just missed camm ram just barely, it's ultra low profile and higher bandwidth too

[@Hunterrcrafter]

Amazing video! This is a very cool project and you have great production quality!

[@RobloxianX]

The fact this only has 9K views is insane. We need to spread the word about this. This is Optimum FormD T1 build levels of insanity. Probably more

[@bille1234]

waiting for next part 😅

[@VibeZ551]

Ngl this is really interesting. No one has tried to do it just because it is to complicated. Well done champ!!!

[@PlatinAviation]

While watching I thought he had like 3 million subs! Only 3800.. soo underrated! Hope this blows up 🔥

[@LandRiders7th]

You can just use desktop parts but striped out to make it as thin as a laptop? And though framework would be the solution. [8_0]

[@AverageTechConsumer]

Can we have the 3d print files please 🙏

[@ogdan1173]

Not bad, but how you can put a battery to power on several hours? I think you make your own keyboard and touchpad from ewaste touchpad. I think the case can't handle the weight and need reinforcement.

[@yehenbimsara]

More please

[@orangefroggy7]

Wow! This was really well done! Subbed, can't wait for the next part :D

[@MrPIRY1]

You should've done a ryzen 5 7600x and a Radeon rx 7600 instead though I'm not sure you could the same size of memory

[@ItsRetroblaster]

Im looking at making my own custom made laptop chassis and pcs using 3d printing and various other methods so this was an awesome video for me thanks man

[@yo24859]

why not go with the rtx 4060 instead it takes lower wattage and preformes better

[@AKNOWRAK]

Bro please upload the part2

[@thetextguy95]

you could've gone with i9 13900t as it has 35 watt tdp

[@fdgdfgdfgdfg3811]

too expensive that 5500 and motherboard is 100usd

[@giridharlaha8031]

Drop the next video asap, Something great is waiting for you ahead, all the best brother

[@hainguyn948]

The great thing ahead of me is this video

[@alvianfajar9570]

Why not use AM5 if you want to upgrade it in the future?

[@12100F]

a quick note on AMD TDP and PPT specifications that "65W TDP" CPU actually will consume up to 88 watts, because its PPT, also known as The Actual Amount Of Power Your AMD CPU Uses Because TDP Does Not Equal Power Consumption, is 88 watts. won't really affect this build, but it is worth knowing in the future. Awesome video otherwise!!

[@toomanyhats7141]

Waiting for the finished product was cool… but now where’s that mixtape at? 🔥

[@ritus2405]

great video although I am curious about how you will solve the power delivery problem or the bypass charging system. Most of the components you are using will generate around 400+w that's the main reason other components including desktop GPU and laptop GPU are different. I also recommend switching to a low-profile GPU like the 4060 as it will lower the power needed in your laptop.

[@calebsalyards8076]

I know you said STX boards aren't very common, but it's the form factor used by all of the tiny OEM PCs out there, so while finding just the board purchasable for consumers is a bit tricky, I don't think it would become impossible for you to find something at any given point. Worst case scenario you can just buy and strip an OEM PC off eBay or something.

[@mattgib711]

This is amazing, love seeing it. It's really funny, I printed a pc console case and welded 4 sections together the exact same way XD. I'm curious though, why not try printing with something like PETG? Would that still get too hot?

[@fade528]

What about you make the GPU stick out at the laptops rear? That way you can mount any GPU possible. Integrated graphics still exist in case you're not having another GPU. Also, about the cooling. What about a blower fan sucking from below, and instead of heatpipes, you mount a heatsink which can sick in air from the side, but directs the air into the laptops exhaust?

[@JamesAddison-tn3wh]

Great video! Underrated as fuck. I would have gone with a ryzen 7 8700g instead as the 780m is great for 1080p gaming and it is a 65w cpu

[@user-pj7ee1bu6n]

Wow, what a Video!!! Respect!!!

[@t.mollov566]

Great dude, there is a lot of issues i think you will face because of the heat, but i expect the rest of the project. I'm building similar pc too, but mine is 3cm high at the front and 7cm at the back, so i can use flex psu, 37mm noctua cooler for cpu and single slot GPU.

[@kaledazzahrani]

5:16 you just saved 150$😅
