Hobbyist builds second version of DIY ZX Spectrum Next laptop
An independent maker, unaffiliated with the official Spectrum Next Kickstarter team, has built a redesigned laptop housing for the ZX Spectrum Next dev board. The new version uses salvaged laptop hinges, a 14-inch HD screen supporting both HDMI and VGA, and an authentic Spectrum Next keyboard in place of the generic USB keyboard used in the first attempt. It also adds a touchpad, dual micro-SD slots, stereo speakers with volume control, dual joystick ports, and USB connectivity.
