The Mactini: A Computer That Does Almost Nothing

A maker named Tucker Osman built a real-life version of the 'Mactini,' a satirical tiny laptop concept originally created by the BBC to mock Apple's design philosophy under Jony Ive. The build uses a 1.69-inch ST7789V2 SPI LCD, an RP2350-based Waveshare board, DMA for efficient screen data copying, an iPad speaker, a scrap audio amplifier, Motion JPEG video decoding, and a FreeCAD-designed 3D printed case, all assembled largely from e-waste parts.
