A Dutch designer has created a full-scale, functional replica of a classic 1979 LEGO computer brick, dubbed the M2x2. The 10:1 scale model houses an Apple Mac Mini M4 computer and a 7-inch IPS display, built using 3D-printed parts.
The project successfully integrates modern computing into the vintage LEGO design, featuring functional details like control knobs and a wireless charger on the brick's studs. While self-contained, the designer primarily uses it with a larger external monitor for daily tasks.
The designer has shared comprehensive build details and 3D printer files for the project online.
