Project Infin_IT is a portable computer shaped like a boombox. The two front panels that resemble speakers are actually removable wireless keyboards. At the back, an SSD is housed in a cassette-shaped cartridge.
Maker Watt IV combined a Framework Laptop 12 mainboard with a salvaged iPad screen and webcam. The carrying handle also doubles as a stand.
Remove what looks like a speaker and it's a keyboard; pull out the cassette and it's an SSD. Familiar boombox parts have been given entirely different jobs.
Natasha Dzurny built an Arduino UNO Q cyberdeck inside a fuzzy orange hand puppet. Opening its mouth reveals a five-inch display and keyboard, while there is still room to put a hand inside and operate it as a puppet.
The computer can play a local collection of audio and video, and a small webcam on a telescoping rod can be used to monitor puppetry practice on the built-in screen. Close the mouth and attach the strap, and the whole device also works as a furry shoulder bag.
Combine a computer, puppet, practice camera and handbag, and the keyboard naturally ends up inside a mouth. Opening your laptop has never looked so much like being eaten.
