Keyboard computer
Upgraded to the AMD board, so had the original Intel 11th gen board. Decided to stick it into the bottom half to use as a desktop at home. actually works pretty well. $198 total for the bottom case and input cover. In retrospect, $39 for CoolerMaster case plus another $100 for a decent keyboard, and $30 for a mouse might have been better. Certainly cheaper. Oh, well. But I kinda like the single wire cleanness of the computer-in-a-keyboard.
Since the WiFi/BT antenna is behind the display on the FW13, no wireless on this thing. Network is via the USB hub, though if BT was needed, I suppose I could use an USB dongle.
The empty “notch” where the screen hinge goes looks goofy. Maybe I will print something to fill the gap.
The 3 expansion slots that aren’t used are empty. I don’t plan to use them since I don’t want 3 more cables and what not cluttering up the desk. They aren’t visible, so not a big deal. But are there files so that I can just 3d print blank cards to fill the space? Or maybe I should just spend $27 and buy 3 USB cards.
