Modder Turns Framework Laptop PCB Into a Handheld Gaming PC

YouTuber Pitstoptech built a “fully upgradeable gaming handheld” around one of Framework’s upgradable motherboards. Tom’s Hardware reports: The handheld model you see in the video is equipped with the following components:

– Framework’s Intel Core i7-1260P processor equipped mainboard
– 7-inch FHD touchscreen display
– 16 GB RAM
– 512 GB SSD
– Dual front-facing speakers
– Detachable controllers
– 55 Wh Battery
– High-speed Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

These components appear to offer some passable small-screen gaming. And in the video, you can see the device plugs into a larger monitor / TV where using the controllers in a detached configuration (Bluetooth) may be more comfortable. […] Pitstoptech intends to prepare and sell handheld DIY kits “soon,” based on the prototype design you see in the pictures / video.
