Tilt Screen Laptop Hack


Check out the latest Ben Heck Show where Ben makes converts a cheap laptop into an airplane friendly laptop. This is to prevent the guy sitting in front of you from tilting your screen when they lean their chair back. After the hack the screen is able to be tilted up and over the keyboard giving you tons of clearance between you and the objects in front of you. Only thing is you better be a good at touch typing since you won’t be able to do any hunt and peck typing when in airplane mode. I ma not crazy about the fake wood grain finish that was selected for the build, I think I would have gone with flat black or even a crazy bold solid color like vivid blue but the effect is still very cool. Ben sure does have some steady soldering hands!
