Dell Latitude Restoration Project
A passion project where I restored a historical system for nostalgic purposes
My first time building a custom PC from the ground up with off the shelf components. Prior to this, I had only upgraded existing systems
Breathed new life into a 2008 Dell Latitude E6400 by reverse-engineering hardware mods, upgrading components, and dual booting Windows XP & 7, air-gapping the system for security. A deep-dive into real-world troubleshooting, nostalgia, and disciplined restoration
Have a look at some of the projects I've been working on in my spare time!
A super cool project where I got a used iPhone with a flagship CPU for around the same price as a low end budget Android phone and restored it to use as a very powerful daily driver, with over 8+ hours of screen time between charges!
