Ok, now this is a cool use for a framework motherboard if you upgrade. Ive always wanted to take a shot at building my own handheld. I guess it would make for a really good formfactor for building your own portable "cyberdeck" type computer too.

From the post: "Building your own handheld gaming console has been a popular project for many years, but recently it has become significantly easier to get a lot of power into a small package. Like many others, [TommyB] made his own Raspberry Pi SBC-based handheld in the past, which results in a rather bulky and underpowered package. A more performant solution would be to stuff laptop guts into a handheld case, but until Framework came onto the scene this wasn’t easy and would get you a sloppy one-off solution. With [TommyB]’s current handheld project he uses a standard Framework laptop mainboard, along with the official battery to get a very capable gaming system."
