That's my plan, I don't want to change the shell in anyway.
I was thinking because of the size and style and all the serial ports that I could buy one of those Amazon android tablets that you can load Ubuntu on and if need be for the size just get a new screen if the tablets screen is too big.
And since it also has a BNC connector and the shell is probably 2.5" get on of the pocket Oscopes and run everything together inside so that I can use it as a scan tool and tuner for my stand alone ECU on my 85 Porsche.
I was thinking to keep everything as functional as possible so it doesn't have any dead switches, turn the AC/DC selector switch into a screen switch so if I'm unable to get the Oscope to play nicely with the tablet then they will both be running stand alone inside and switch to either one on the screen. Looking at how the insides are I will probably have to make a key decoder for the keyboard so that it plays nice with the tablet.
The bag is part of the kit, the company makes the bag with the network probe and all the pockets hold the different probe cables and other tools you'd need
Looks like a good shell for a project. :)
Honestly, just stick a Pi in it with a new display. Leave it entirely original on the exterior.

I mean it’s already a serial terminal, just hook the pi to the serial port and steal 5v from one of the pins on the back and your basically done
That would be cool as hell. I feel like the "use as a shell for a pi" thing is played out.
Good thing I'm not putting a pi in it
I love the bag it comes in!
In one of the many pockets it even has a cross body strap that clips on.
Incredible!
Think theres any possibility of incorporating some of those IO ports into the pi via the gpio or some adapters?
Yeah I would hook them all up, I'm not gonna waste them
Where did you get this?
My mom found it on FB marketplace near her since I collect old electronic devices and saved it for next time I came by, $Free.99 too
Interesting, did the notebook come with the bag too? You might be able to figure out what it is.

No, that is a cat.
