CJ could have productised this if it wasn’t keyboard-specific.

Has anyone tried using the laptop, with the display panel removed…and go with a wireless display implementation of some kind? Essentially using just the bottom half slab?

This works fine. Wireless display though? I don’t think that’ll work very well, no one to my knowledge has done that.

Thinking whether this tech got any improvement since last year:

Oh this would work, to the laptop it’s really just a HDMI port, since all of the communication is done externally!

Imagine if it housed a battery inside, it’d be perfect for on the go type stuff

At that point, one might just use the Framework laptop with the display panel and hinges disconnected and removed.

Really interested in a larger bottom chassis to house a bigger battery though.

You could but it’d be nice to not have to deal with the small display.

Amazing!
I was thinking of a wireless computer for a long time, now ( with a pair of tx/rx hdmi and your solution) I can have a portable computer without the worries of a fragile display :slight_smile:

I’m curious, are the USB-C ports on the sides ever much of an issue? I love this build and could see myself using one of these as my daily driver, but my gut reaction was the ports on the sides would be inconvenient and get in the way of your mouse/take up a lot of desk space. Has this actually been an issue at all?

I use a USBa dongle (came w mouse) but could have spent more on a bluetooth mouse. I am currently using a cheap USBc dongle to power and to run second hdmi monitor. This is a unique set up as it runs through a myplexor for a display I have to show video and soon some updating files and stream.
