Step into the world of retro-inspired computing as we embark on an exciting journey to build a unique, portable Raspberry Pi Zero laptop. In this video, I'll guide you through the entire process of creating a compact, command-line interface device that pays homage to classic machines like the Macintosh Portable while leveraging modern DIY technology.
We'll start with the design phase in Fusion 360, crafting a custom case that perfectly houses our components. Watch as the design comes to life through 3D printing, using Inland beige PLA to capture that nostalgic computer aesthetic. The heart of our build is the powerful yet tiny Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, complemented by an Adafruit PowerBoost 1000C and a 3.7V LiPo battery for true portability.
As we assemble the laptop, you'll see how we integrate a compact wide-aspect ratio display and an Inland 40% mechanical keyboard, striking a balance between modern functionality and retro charm. We'll walk through the wiring process, ensuring everything fits snugly within our custom-printed case.
The build culminates with the installation of Raspberry Pi OS Lite, providing a pure command-line interface experience that harkens back to the early days of personal computing. Finally, we'll put our creation to the test, demonstrating its portability, battery life, and CLI capabilities.
Whether you're a retrocomputing enthusiast, a Raspberry Pi tinkerer, or simply curious about unique DIY tech projects, this video offers a fascinating look at blending old-school computing concepts with cutting-edge maker technology. Join me as we bring this one-of-a-kind Raspberry Pi Zero laptop to life and explore the possibilities of custom, portable computing!
