If you miss the days when laptops had really cool form factors like the Toshiba T1000, you’re going to love this Raspberry Pi project put together by maker and developer Nilseuropa. Using our favorite SBC, he’s brought an old Toshiba T1000 machine back to life by using a Raspberry Pi as the main board and has upgraded the system to include support for modern peripherals.

Don’t worry—no working T1000s were harmed to create this project. According to Nilseuropa, he’s spent time repairing at least 5 of them so far and this project was created using leftover pieces. Restoring old hardware doesn’t come without sacrifice and it’s not always possible to keep everything. Some hardware becomes donors of “parts boards”. That’s where the Raspberry Pi comes in, supplementing the gaps left behind by previous repairs.
