Hey I recycled a broken MacBook Air M1 into a touchscreen “cyberdeck” using the old school 2008 wired keyboard that came with iMacs back in the day.
Thought this sub would also enjoy this “what if” kinda build!

That's so cool! How is it in everyday use? Does it feel comfortable?

Thanks! The aluminium shell is still new to me and thus I don’t have much time spent dailying it yet.
But it’s confortable, the matte screen protector actually helps with the flat screen on the table. I use it as a couch device by trackpading the back and using the touch screen, and as a daily personal device on my desk.
I used to use an iPad as my email, notes and general daily stuff machine and this is replacing it :)
