Awesome Laptop

Brick Machines is back with another awesome LEGO Technic and Mindstorms creation. He shows how he built a fully functional LEGO laptop with a working keyboard and a mouse that uses a magnetic X/Y track and a hall-effect sensor to detect its position and button clicks. Both the keyboard and mouse pad have programmable RGB backlighting.

Austin Evans takes a look at the GPD Pocket, a ridiculously compact laptop which runs Windows 10 or Linux on a system about the size of a sketch book. Its 7″ 1920×1200 touchscreen display looks great, but it would take some getting used to that teensy keyboard.

ASUS applies their svelte aluminum styling to a versatile convertible. The ZenBook Flip measures 13.9mm thick, and its 3200×1800 touchscreen can smoothly rotate from laptop to easel to tablet. Despite its thickness, it still has USB 3.0, USB Type C, and Micro HDMI ports.

Building on their substantive Envy 13 and 15, HP just took wraps off a new 17-inch-er, maxing out with a quad-core i7 CPU, 8GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive. We also love the 1920×1080 display option.

Hard Graft’s U MacBook Sleeve is a sleeve and then some: besides a wool felt shell (from 13″-17″), it features a large leather pocket with space for a cellphone and a small notebook.

LUXA2’s M2 Laptop Cooler is not only portable (its slot join hinge lets it fold down to half its normal size), but is pretty swank with a brushed metal finish and Swarovski crystals.
