Laptop from scratch
I worked on the Motherboard, I deleted items I wouldn’t need like the PCIE slot and the USB-C power as I will be using a battery. I found various resources including the official Lattepanda Mu motherboard github (Opensource FTW). I also found a whole course on how to make carrier boards for it. I still have a lot more work ahead of me as I barely have much. I am starting to realize how hard this project will truly be, but there needs to be an easy, open source, and up to date laptop. The screenshot includes all my notes and resources for the motherboard.
I’m working on a custom laptop, I started this a while back (fallout), but I didn’t have enough time so now I’m doing it here. My laptop will have a Lattepanda Mu and a detachable keyboard. I’m hoping that it should be able to be used as a flagship device as laptops keep getting harder to fix, while this has many open source parts. For example, want to switch the CPU? just buy a new LattePanda Mu and plug it in. I still need to figure out how to transfer my 10 hours and 40 minutes worth of work onto here.
