About this model

After setting out to build my own version of the 1980s Hartmut Esslinger frog design MacBook concept, I've finally finished the second model, the BookMac (MacBook) Mini Concept. These are the model files for the enclosure only. This recreation is designed around a Raspberry Pi 5 with a PiPower 5 UPS/BMS, paired with two 10,000 mAh LiPo packs. It uses an iPad 9.7" display, a touchscreen panel, a display controller and speakers, and several custom PCBs for the keyboard, keyboard controller, ADB, and rear ports. There are several custom Pi-side apps for boot, border, and cropping display handling, touchscreen calibration, brightness control, power handling, and a BasiliskII/SheepShaver launcher that handles touch correction for a better touch experience with classic Mac OS.
