Finally, a "portable" MSX computer! erm, well - "luggable"...

This is my Omega Home Computer build - If anyone's interested how I made this, I have a whole write-up with tons of pictures and details here https://hackaday.io/project/190135-mega-omega-msx2-portable-computer.

Very nice! I think this is called a luggable computer :-)

IMPRESSIVE! If I may ask, how much does the final computer weigh? Big smile

Thank you! the keyboard is the original one that was designed for the Omega, but I added on a numeric keypad and designed a 3D-printed case to fit it. There's a lot more detail including all the files in the hackaday article a linked to if you want to learn more about how I made it.
