Thank you so much! For certain; goodness without knowledge is weak and feeble and knowledge without goodness is dangerous.

It was a truly difficult undertaking! I was ready to quit at so many moments, but I always think about the final mission of sharing this little piece of knowledge with the world. :)

My hat is off to you, good sir. Way off. This is an unbelievable accomplishment, doubly so given that you're still in high school (!!!), triple-so given the time you did it in, quadruple-so given that you did it all yourself, etc etc etc.

I was reading this over thinking "this guy should be working for Framework". It would be a total win-win.

[Hello9999901]

Thank you so much! I'm currently working for Keychron!

If you do decide to look at framework, I can help you get your resume in front of a high level decision maker. I agree you'd make a great fit with framework.

[Hello9999901]

Woah! That would be amazing! I sent you an email just now. Thank you so much for this opportunity!!

Really amazing and impressive work. And also an excellent resource for future explorers.

One thing I didn't see mentioned in the video is the total cost of all the materials to complete one laptop not including all the experimentation cost. I'd be super curious about that.

I have the R&D BOM in a link below [1]

Thanks.

Thank you! For anyone else looking for the top line number, it's $4,673.81. Really nice work. I wish you much success in life.

I have yet to finish processing reimbursement. LOL. His parents pre-paid for this project.

Best 5 grand they ever spent. Byran your cross discipline knowledge is amazing. Well done!

Quick question, are your parents in technology and science or are you self taught? Always like to hear about the backgrounds that create the environment for something like this to come together.

[Hello9999901]

I've met amazing people throughout my journey thus far, but no. I have no background in engineering, but my parents have always been supportive. I started falling in love with it in 9th grade with keyboards + ZMK!

Others: don’t downvote this, it seems legit. See their other comments.

"NOTE: THIS IS R&D total cost. The DIY price should be less than $1500"

[noman-land]

Thank you for this.

Great work! I am also interested in what tools you needed to do the work. Could you elaborate on that?
