Use Raspberry Pi to build the world's smallest "iMac"

In the picture, this "iMac", which is the size of a can of Red Bull, was hand-built by engineer Michael Pick using Raspberry Pi and 3D printing technology. This mini Mac is equipped with a 7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1024 x 600. Regardless of its size, it can also play Minecraft at 1,000 fps.

In the picture, this "iMac", which is the size of a can of Red Bull, was hand-built by engineer Michael Pick using Raspberry Pi and 3D printing technology. This mini Mac is equipped with a 7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1024 x 600. Regardless of its size, it can also play Minecraft at 1,000 fps.

DIY enthusiast Michael Pick uploaded his entire production process to his YouTube channel. He started by 3D printing the case, and then adjusted the Raspberry Pi to a suitable size to fit the case. To this end, he cut off the Ethernet port and two USB ports on the top of the Raspberry Pi to ensure a perfect fit.

Pick Insert the wireless dongle into one of the remaining USB ports to connect the wireless keyboard and mouse. There is also a flat cable for connecting the monitor to the Raspberry Pi, and it is powered by the USB-C extension cable at the bottom of the screen. The final "iMac" also contains 1 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0. There is no Ethernet, but Bluetooth and WiFi can be used to make the computer work normally.

Due to the small size, heat dissipation is particularly important. Pick installed a heat sink on the CPU, and a micro fan is also installed in the chassis to ensure that air flows through the Raspberry Pi board to prevent it from overheating.

In order to make the mini Mac look more realistic, Pick first sprayed it with a layer of metallic paint, and then sprayed a layer of black screen frame. Apple's logo is also completed with 3D printing.
