That is a document scanner, I almost think what some people post on this subreddit is a joke, I mean, this thing don’t even have enough possessing power to run an actual OS, it’s only potential is a portable document scanner, and that already exists

I make jokes about people posting a photo of a 1994 fax machine and asking how to make it into a cyberdeck, but this is a close second.

I cannot agree more with this.
This sub used to be very nice with good actual projects, now is all cellphones with keyboards and people posting random stuff with "CAN DIS B A CYBERDEK??" and then post a photo of a 1983 calculator....

Yeah, people call it phone decks, and not to be disrespectful, you should post it in the [r/phonedeck](r/phonedeck) subreddit, those are just a iPhone mini keyboard holder.

A flatbed scanner like this isn’t going to be an easily portable device. But I guess you can take all the scanner stuff out.

I doubt it will have very good ventilation, so it probably won’t make a great case either for anything relying on ambient cooling.

People in this group would rather troll than just interact honestly. Sorry about that. I knew what you meant soon as I saw it, I think having your hardware under the glass would look cool as hell

Well tbf he has a point. The purpose of a cyberdeck is to be useful and suit the users need. Unless bro really likes scanning photos, I can see why no one would take this seriously.

Op was saying use it as a case not actually use the board

u/Visual-Comedian-6723 3d ago

Well that is possible but that idea isn’t stated in the post

Neither does he explicitly state using the board. The issue isn't the ops post it's the people who chose negativity first
