MacBook Pro MOD
Submitted by modman on February 8, 2006 - 11:30am
guys, i just ordered a macbook pro and i am looking to seperate the screen from the laptop base. I seek professional help. The idea is to have a slim and lightweight "desktop feel" with this kickass new mac.
What i want to do is mount the screen (which comes with iSight) on a VESA mount on my table. The only complexity is the ribbon cable that needs to be now streched for over 1-2meters. Also understand, that i will be moving the screen back and forth when i need to i need to know if the robbon cables can handle this?
Please give your suggestions, past jobs you might have done or seen? Links? Anything will help...Thank you! peace...modman

Why did you order a MacBook Pro, when what you want to do sounds exactly like you should have bought an Intel iMac? The iMac is cheaper, has a larger screen, and you'll still have a warranty.
If there's some reason it has to be a MacBook Pro, then I'd recommend attaching a USB keyboard/mouse and mounting the chassis of the MacBook to the back of its own screen, and attach the whole thing to your vesa mount.
