Imagine walking into the classroom on your first day of computer science with THIS!

Me: Mom can i have computer Mom: we already have a computer Computer at home:

Lenovo exists. JoshBuilds Im bout to end this man's whole career

Parents:You Got a laptop! Kid: Oh boy! Tysm! Kid:Mommy this is cardboard

So when does the cardboard ignite from all that heat?

Well apple and hp better pack up we got this guy

bring this laptop to work everyone in the office: is this guy looking at a cardboard?

Apple: okay what’s your design for a future Apple Mac You: it’s called the cardboard, I say we sell it for 3000 dollars!!

Mr krabs needs to see this

A good idea to impress your parents, they would probably think you're the next Steve jobs

Me *1 minute ago* Me: this is gonna be easy! *clicks* *hours later...* Me : mom! Can u buy me the items I need to use Mom: no

Now all we gotta do is wait for troom troom to put little hearts and glitter on there without damaging the computer. iT’s NoT a ProBLeM aNYmoRe

I would do this, but I'm afraid I'm gonna mess it up

When you drop water on this thing

I just made my lap top and now I am impressing people

This is so cool! Defenitly gonna make this!

Who else thought this was a joke?

7 inch screen - $40.88 Power Regulator - $7.76 Battery - $7.39 Raspberry pi - $35.00 Total: $90.06

I'm here almost 4 years later coming to thank you for motivating me for electronics and raspberry pi thank you sir from all my heart

My reaction on the small thumbnail was "wood casing? meh". Then I saw it was a cardboard! I had to watch that! Really cool stuff! I was deeply surprised by the way you kept those battery connectors together! That was incredibly clever! But I will eventually use cable ties instead, because that rubber thing will eventually break (they are fragile, specially if the battery heats them).

that pc runs minecraft better then my computer does (my pc is a samsung notebook 2010)

I’ve always wanted to play Minecraft pi edition I love it

This new Nintendo LABO kit looks amazing!

This is really fun. nicely done

When you order laptop in aliexpress

The idea is really cool maybe make a part 2 where you make it more compact.

*Me when I show someone my gaming setup*

cool project, gotta love the raspberry pi, amazing machine

*But can it run Crysis?* this is too old why am i saying this.

Well what I do is: **buys laptop from ebay** **covers it in cardboard** BAM BOOM DONE

Who needs a fancy computer case,when you have recyclable cardboard for it.

Oh god, that is so cool. Reminds me of my mom's first laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1545 that was purple.

Note that if you parallel two lithium ion batteries you *NEED* to make sure they are well matched. Namely they should be bought together in a two-pack so they come from the same run and everything. Given that you aren't even using a battery protector or anything, I'd like to recommend the Panasonic NCR18650 series which can go to a lower voltage (meaning if you accidentally leave the DC-DC converter on after the system shuts off from too low voltage it gives you longer before it actually damages the battery) and they have a surprisingly good capacity over the usable voltage range too (the higher numbers you see are assuming you discharge all the way down to the lower voltage these support which is impossible, but over the standard voltage range it still has great capacity. I don't have the means to measure, but I'd say at least 2600mAh, possibly as high as 2800.) These usually come in matched pairs as well, but are more expensive. www.amazon.com/dp/B00DHXY72O/ Overall this seems like an interesting way of going about this. It keeps the complexity of most designs down significantly. Though it shouldn't be too hard to do this using wood pieces or something for a bit more sturdiness. I'm not sure cardboard would hold up well at all to folding and unfolding. EDIT: That's a real find on that screen! I'd never found a seven inch screen so cheap that used HDMI instead of I2S or whatever. BTW, that music sounds suspiciously like the Lode Runner (Sierra remake for Windows) music. :-p

This is a great idea keep up the good work My cousin would love this

Wow that’s amazing my dude

Everyone: 120fps Simple Homade Laptop: 1,3fps xD

At least it's more durable than a Chromebook. And it can run programs other than Google Chrome. Actually, this is better than a Chromebook in every way.

Works better than my alienware computer

but does it scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7?

Wow creative ideas and your videos are good :) I like it

Wouldn’t you just buy a 100$ laptop instead

Hmm, let's make a laptop with my own keyboard, never had a mechanical laptop... *puts keyboard on desk*... we've gone over our budget... 180 euros for just the keyboards...

I actually build this and it works! Thank you so much!

great build

Computer nofitications when watches this vid: Google wants to know your location.

Would it be possible to make 3D printed case for this?

This is incredible! Although, I'd use a more powerful/durable substance than cardboard, let's say titanium for example.

You have gained yourself a subscriber!

Play gta 5 on that computer xD

less then 100$? 50mb of RAM Intel 4004 740 kHz 30Gb of HDD GeForce 256 Windows 95

Components: $20 University studies for electronics :$300000 very cheap indeed

Wow the new Nintendo Labo kit looks cool!

Wow Nintendo labo

Still better than my computer.

wow it is great job I am also interested in making such a laptop

thanks it worked i can now play fortnite with 100000000000000 fps

I didn't now Raspberry could be that... a computer.

*Microsoft wants to know your location*

I've thought about doing something similar to make a briefcase computer with a microatx motherboard, though the challenging bits would be powering it (which would actually be easy if you don't put in a battery) and making it look less like a bomb. Decided buying a cheap used laptop on eBay that needed a couple minor repairs like a hard drive replacement and a new keyboard was a better solution. :P

how to make a simple homemade laptop take a potato boil the potato here you are a laptop

Just be lazy and buy one on the internet

realy amazing. but i see no headphone plugs or spekers?

Awesome! I’m doing this but in tablet form

YO new gaming setup with that pc is gonna be lit

NICE,my new computer😂😂😂

If I made one, I wouldn’t be porting it anywhere. I’d be too afraid I’d shake it up too much and ruin it...

Well, I'm subbed. That is so awesome. I'm gonna make one with my kid

This is the funniest shit to me, imagine you’re in class and you whip out this bad boy

Notice Me Josh: I Like Your Experiment From The Cardboard

Who used to play Minecraft I now I did My school:ha nerd!

There is no way anyone is going to manage to create this 😂

This is super cool but if you really want to make the pi more durable or foldable/portable, i reccomend just getting a 3d print file or creating your own file and maybe get 3d print services or go to the local libary that might have one. you probably can just use wood or something cause itd be more durable but with a 3d print, you can make the pi and screen more accessible, rather than just having it superglued to cardboard

Top 10 new laptops

Potato Pi

Cool, it looks fascinating as well, and the OS is worth checking out!

Can you tell me where I can find that mini computer circuit thingy?

So thats what People call a potato pc...

Hey JoshBuilds! I am thinking about building this, and i there any way to plug in a mouse???

Can you use the voltage regulator of a portable charger for this project?

That pc is running minecraft faster than my actual pc lmfao

*_Everyone was asking this To War_* _And here it is_

Very nice indeed

Friend= I got a samsung laptop for my birthday. Have U got a laptop? Me= .........

Nice job bro

this video really very super !

and you got scratch offline editor wow! :O

Awesome!!!

a computer in a cardboard case? nothing screams more "I'M A FIREHAZARD" than this

Josh builds? Jacksfilms ? Coincidence? *I THINK NOT*

This is so cool! I have a Raspberry Pi at home which has been sitting there for a year or so, so yeah...

Have some of these that are for gaming and multipurpose usses?

when you only have $100 to spend

Well the new model of LABO aren't bad

Welcome everyone, to *why is this in my recommendations?*

Thanks Recommended list, At least I kno what to do when broke

love this little project! Just don't bring it to an airport lol

Still more ports than a macbook

Hey! I am building this laptop and just asking, do you need the voltage regulator? Also, how do you do the thing at 1:54? Please respond to me and tell me what to do!

Thanks mate! This really helped with my bros B-Day gift (he’s 5 and i recently made him a fake one so this was the perfect gist!)

Kid: MacBook or Dell? Me: I’m not trying to be original I’m trying to be funny
