It's been a very long time since something had me sitting there in pure fascination for half an hour. After watching you accept and meet every challenge in this insane project, nothing seems really impossible to me anymore. Thank you for letting me feel this feeling again!
Now I've honestly seen everything. This is creative engineering in it's purest form. Imagine if Lego actually decides to hire this guy to make complete sets and all...
This is simultaneously smaller and lighter weight than a 90s laptop while also being sturdier than anything built post-2010. Truly a masterpiece of engineering.
Dude basically re-invents the Mindstorms concept while using Mindstorms computer modules. (Mindstorms was the commercialization of an MIT project to make prototyping robots simpler by making LEGO-compatible cases for small microcontroller systems and making LEGO-like sensors and motors.) It's just amazing what a skilled person can do with a mid-range 3D printer and off-the-shelf hobby electronics from Aliexpress. Nothing you did was even vaguely cheap or easy, but none of it was really impossible for someone with your skills to accomplish. That's amazing.
Thanks so much for the super thanks! And I really appreciate you watching the video 🙂 I could've probably added an on/off switch, but I really wanted to make it clear that the LEGO EV3 controller was an integral part of running this laptop, so it functions as the on/off switch under the hidden compartment. Great question!
man this is very cool, I can’t even imagine how long you’ve been working on this project. And I'm also shocked that you have so few subscribers when you create such cool videos
Brick Machine went all out making this Lego Laptop. That is awesome 16:17 He spents a lot of time making each keys for the keyboard 23:36 A working trackpad 25:31 A working fingerprint scanner
Imagine your kid asks to build legos and they start pulling out a 3d printer, wiring setup, and solder pen. And you just shrug your shoulders and cross your fingers hoping they end up with a brain like this guy's. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I honestly didn't even know the full capabilities of LEGO until finding your channel, props to you dude! This kind of creativity and engineering really brings a light to my day and peaks my interest and curiosity. You're insanely talented and I envy your skills! I used to fiddle with LEGO when I was younger and I really loved making the little characters battle and whatnot, I usually had my parents build them for me, a large part of me really wishes I honed my childhood curiosity to learn more as once you mature and get older, learning things doesn't necessarily become harder but as a child, your brain sponges things up and has a large amount of room for learning! Thank you for the amazing videos, I enjoy how calming and interesting they can be, and they're really entertaining. If you do end up reading this, I just have one question I'd honestly really like answered; what's the hardest LEGO related project you've ever attempted, completed, or plan to attempt/complete? (Extra question that just popped into my head, after you finish a project like this, do you feel a sense of relievement or do you feel proud of yourself and glad you got to enjoy the process, or do you immediately start trying to find a new and interesting project to work at?)
You really impressed me because you recreated the ASCII signals using i/o boards, and you made yourself a Lego Laptop only using common circuts and regular components. This reminds me how old laptops used to look like, due of the lack of compact components, and you had to do it all by yourself, only using regular components, and tried methods that was infact useful for your DIY laptop. Would be useful if you shared a Step by Step how to work on this laptop, because i likely want to work with something simillar and using broader advanced interface, like installing Raspberry PI.
Very cool build, btw, for the Keys consider trying Waterslide Decal paper. Its a translucent sheet of paper that you can print on then wet it and move it to a key and when it tries it will keep the decal on it. its used often by model builders to add insigniac, flags, text and other small details to their models. And works great for custom Keycaps!
this is why i have respect for anyone in the field of engineering, even if they don't solve world hunger or answer the next big problem, things like this laptop can make people happy and inspire others who might be interested in the field, and thats pretty cool.
Dude this is actualy incredible work! That looks amazing, just a little chunky lol, but it looks really good! And the fact it works is incredible!!! This is easily the coolest thing i have seen anyone build, i would be surprised if you built a working car out of lego's, i would not be surprised at all.
this is just so cool. best lego video i have ever seen no doubt. i also totally thought it would just be a raspberry pi inside a lego case. i was VERY pleasantly surprised.
The first time I played Doom, when I went into the dark corners, I screamed and got goosebumps when I heard the sound of a fat monster in there-it was truly terrifying.
People have been able to play Minecraft inside of Minecraft. Maybe you can code the laptop to build any kind of LEGO's virtually. (I also would enjoy seeing someone play Minecraft with a LEGO laptop as well) You put so much effort into this. Great Job!
Dear Brick Machines, I like watching your channel! I never saw anyone other than you build a LEGO® laptop. I was impressed of you making a laptop just with LEGO®. The cool lighting, screen, and all those features, those were from LEGO® but you used a little bit of electrical advanced stuff. Can you please make a version with only LEGO®? You don't have to if you don't want to.
The mouse design can be slightly improved upon, you only need one ground connection. So you could connect both grounds to the same wire, requiring only three. Granted the four wire design is easier, but it's not necessary.
I never knew there were custom parts that could Interfaxe with an arduino Also are you using a custom firmware for the EV3? Those keypad lights don’t usually behave like that
very amazing, it would be cool to see if you could browse the web on it somehow, also I wish the screen were bigger, but maybe that one was too hard to use?
yo. little tip for your A1 3D printer: dont get the printed thing off your printing plate by hand. The filament will disconnect without you pulling it off. Good video!

Just don’t drop it!
Lol that's awesome! :)
I have a friend who dropped a chromebook and it split down the screen and keyboard. They taped it together and it still works
@austinju-y4h I dont think you should drop any laptop
It is cool but at the same time it contains much more complex components than from those times
This honestly might be the coolest lego machine I've seen, not only on your channel but on all RUclips. You've outdone yourself.
