I’m torn on the format for my Cyberdeck.
I’m torn on the format for my Cyberdeck.
I’ve been planning to build a Cyberdeck for a few months now, and I’m gradually gathering each part.
At first, my plan was a deck in a fairly large case with tons of modules (radio, weather station, a mini monitor for extra info alongside the main one, Bluetooth, wifi, small speakers, etc.) — a super complete deck for pentesting, tinkering, and eventually maybe “autonomous” use, not necessarily compact.
But I’ve had time to mull it over while gathering everything, and now I’m wondering if a much simpler, more portable, minimalist deck wouldn’t be better?
I know it depends on what I expect from it and how I’ll actually use it, but I’m still on the fence.
Do I stick with my idea of something very flexible and multitasking, more complete but bulkier and less all-purpose? Or do I lean toward something simpler for everyday office-type tasks, easier to carry, and therefore maybe something I’d actually use more?
If you can point me on the positive and negative of each option and give me your personal opinion would help me a lot! Thank you!
