I’m transforming an old, broken laptop into a modern, flexible workstation powered by Xubuntu Linux.
The goal is to recycle its components — screen, motherboard, and storage — into a new, slim all-in-one body that’s both functional and beautiful.
I’ll design a custom CAD enclosure to hold the screen and motherboard together, upgrade the HDD to SSD, and create a flexible stand so the setup can act as a portable second monitor or main Linux workstation.
It will connect to a wireless keyboard and mouse, giving it a clean, cable-free setup perfect for my workbench or desk.
This project is all about upcycling old tech, learning CAD and hardware design, and building something practical and sustainable.
