YouTuber spent 14 months building a gaming laptop from desktop parts: The final result is amazing!
How do you feel about gaming laptops? There can be mixed reviews, with some praising it because it allows them to game on the go, while detractors will point out the Steam Deck as a device better suited for mobile gaming .
However, a YouTuber stated a rather controversial opinion: Gaming laptops are just a hoax. This person points out how laptop GPUs compare to desktops and how larger variants often produce much better frames. So, he spent over a year building his own laptop using desktop components and the end result is amazing.
Socket Science makes its own gaming laptops using desktop parts
According to Hackaday's findings, YouTuber Socket Science has finally completed his 14-month quest to build a laptop with desktop components inside. The inside is no different from a gaming PC, with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, XFX Radeon RX6600 and low-profile RAM sticks crammed into an ITX motherboard.
Fitting all that into a laptop case and ensuring everything is adequately cooled is an incredibly difficult task, not to mention organizing all the laptop essentials. However, as shown in the video above, Socket Science finally succeeded and is proud to present its project to everyone. The video above is part two of Socket Science's story, so if you want to start at the beginning, check out part one of his journey.
Most people in the comments section were stunned to see the device in action, with one person believing the project would disappear like other crazy science projects on YouTube. However, as Socket Science clearly shows, his creation can play games perfectly.
So do you think you can do better and create a laptop that uses desktop parts in it?
