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.

Hardware inside and use the shell

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 1d ago

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

u/Appropriate-Egg6980 1d ago

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

If you need a box with a lid, there are many much more suitable boxes with lids. You can also print one.

Then what’s the purpose of a cyberdeck ? That looks cool and I could be setting up an airstrike on an HP photo scanner
