The time has finally come! Ghettobook II is upon us!.
I learned many lessons from the first Ghettobook. The primary issues which were never resolved involved battery management and case design. Fortunately, I am now older and wiser, so the same issues will not plague Ghettobook II (which is still in need of a witty moniker.)
The plan this time around involves a modular system based around a Thinkpad T61p. Additional elements will include a docking station with a gaming GPU, and a secondary monitor, which will be integrated into the laptop, yet still removable when I need portability.
An interface chart is as follows:
