Meet Brian Huang, an 18-year-old who built his own laptop from scratch. And itโ€™s open source. No Dell, no Apple, no Lenovo, just one guy and a crazy idea. Hereโ€™s how he did it. Brian wanted a laptop that didnโ€™t exist. A 4K AMOLED screen, a mechanical keyboard, the power to run AI models and Minecraft in 4K, a machine built for performance and customization. The catch? No company was making this. So he thought, โ€œWhat if I just build one myself?โ€ There was just one problem, he had never built a laptop before. But that didnโ€™t stop him. He sourced parts from China. He reverse-engineered Asus display logs to customize the screen. He designed a custom battery system optimized for power. He CNC-milled an aluminum chassis and built a detachable mechanical keyboard that doubles as a standalone device. The crazy part? Itโ€™s all open source. You can literally download the schematics and build your own. A one-person project competing with billion-dollar companies. And it goes to show, sometimes you donโ€™t need permission. If what you want doesnโ€™t exist, build it. Actionable Advice: 1๏ธโƒฃ Identify the gap โ€“ Whatโ€™s missing in your industry that you wish existed? 2๏ธโƒฃ Leverage Open Source โ€“ Tap into global knowledge and collaborate with like-minded creators. 3๏ธโƒฃ Start before you're ready โ€“ You donโ€™t need all the answers. Learn as you go. If youโ€™re serious about building innovative products and disrupting industries, subscribe to my newsletter (link in the comments) for more insights like this.
