Excellent challenge to the big OEM's. I doubt many will give it a second thought.
What I'd love to see is some of the gifted and talented Makers we've seen in 2019 whip out their dremels and 3D printers and say, "THIS is what I want!"
Couldn't you take a chassis with a high-end screen and fabricate a mount that would accommodate securing an AMD board to the existing mounts of a previous Intel board?
I know I sound naive, but I haven't looked into it yet. It certainly seems possible from a basic engineering standpoint.
EDIT: my horrific grammar
- big_chungus 7y agoAt least part of the problem is getting said board; laptop motherboards are often specially manufactured for each chassis, and there is no standard form factor like there is for desktops. It might be possible to buy one from a different model, but most boards aren't socketed for AMD chips so that's out, and it's not really feasible to just build your own motherboard.
- johndubchak 7y agoVery true and. I understand your point. I was trying to suggest that you cou take an AMD motherboard and 3D print some sort of adapter that would adapt its form factor to fit the particular form factor of the existing chassis. At least as a PoC.
