Hi everyone,
I just bought an unused chromebook pixel from 2013. If some of you remember this device it was very ahead of its time and beautiful. I thought about removing all internal components except for the display, keyboard and maybe i/o components like usb etc and replacing the actual computer with a orange pi 5 ultra + powerbank. Do you think its possible? I am experienced in soldering etc but never did such a mod. The Hardest part will probably be the Display? What do you think?
Edit:
I found a display adapter https://www.ebay.com/itm/195054990224. I also found a powerbank (xiaomi ultra slim) thats slim enough for the shell and the raspberry pi compute module 5 also fits in the shell.
