He obviously took the Apple logo out of the shell and then put everything else back together. What you’re seeing is the back-side of the monitor now viewable thru the missing Apple logo plastic insert.

My guess is he used one of these usb monitors since in the eBay posting he states one usb port does not work due to the monitor:

Go RTFS (read the f’n source) next time. sheesh.”

Re-read it yourself, louis-twoie. The msi wind logo hack is a *different project* from this one.
Look at the auction listing, where you can clearly see “mac pro” above the keyboard.

Powerbook is just easier to say than “apple-branded laptop” or knowing what the minor differences are between the mac book pro and non-pro models. my nomenclature is still stuck in the 90s.

And still we’re seeing no progress shots, and now it’s for sale. I think this guy’s either a phony or he’s not sharing his info just so he can be the only one profiteering from this type of hack. Either way, not exactly in the true spirit of hacking. Share the info, or this hack-a-day post, along with the engadget article, etc., are nothing but free advertisements for this guy’s ebay auctions.

not really, he has it connected as a secondary monitor so its not using one of those mini DPFs. Its most likelly 7′ car TV/Playstation screen like the ones that are used for console laptops

It’s not a powerbook. It’s not even a mac book of any kind. It’s an MSI Wind… which he installed OSX onto and cut tho apple logo in to.
Go RTFS (read the f’n source) next time. sheesh.

;)

i too am doubtful about this hack, espically since every single aprt of the demonstration could have been done with a greenscreen apple logo,

once again, show us the guts, or we won’t believe you.

show us lowly hackadayers your handiwork!

It doesn’t help that there’s an obvious edit after seeing the video on the logo screen and rotating it to see the front screen again. The main screen at the start could be a color transparency on a screen flipped 180 degrees, backlit the same way the apple logo is normally lit.

Give me more details, show me the guts, and I’ll celebrate this as one of the top Powerbook hacks.

BTW, something change on hack-a-day? There hasn’t been a tiresome yet inevitable “LOL MAC SUX” post yet.
