Like the little buff 12” PowerBook https://www.macworld.com/article/225194/ode-to-the-12-inch-p...
replySomewhere on my list of projects is "Gut a 12" Powerbook and put the guts of a modern M series Macbook in it". The chassis is so spacious and the Macbook Air logic boards are so small, physics is not going to be a problem. Just hooking up screens, the keyboard and trackpad (using the original, natch), and ports. There's already a high-res display swap you can do in that chassis to get to 1400x1050.
replyHmm now I want to see this done in a PowerBook 100 chassis with a Sharp Memory LCD screen.
replyI still remember when the Air lineup was all about being small and light.
replyThe MacBook Neo and the MacBook Air (at about the same weight) are 10% lighter than the original Air.
replyExactly. This with an M5, OLED, today's keyboard/trackpad combo, 16GB/24GB RAM, 2-4TB of SSD and it would be an instant buy
replyThey make something like that, but it costs a bit more.
