Description
So, I have seen all these AWESOME projects, that use a Raspi in combination with a Motorola Lapdock to build a cool 'open' ARM laptop!
This is of course AMAZINGLY AWESOME, so I want to do the same.
Mini Blog
FYI, Cubieboard on the Lapdock running on 'performance' governor, so 1Ghz all the time, LCD on, Wifi running gives about 6 hours of batterylife :D Nice!

The Lapdock arrived!!! w00000t
Now I just need to wait for all these endless adapters :D
Oh, there also came a HDMI to microHDMI converter last week :P

The first adapter arrives :D

Today I finally decided to go forward and do this project. So, ordered all the shopping list stuff today, more later ;)
Other People's Efforts
We should _always_ recycle effort!

Even Slashdot says its a good idea!
Connections on the lapdock
- Female USB 2.0 A
- Male Micro USB 2.0 B
- Male Micro HDMI D
- Charging (the lapdock comes with a charger)
No idea about sound ... I know it has speakers (connected to device over HDMI, no usbaudio ...) but no clue about microphone or headphone plug(s) ..
Shopping List
We need some weird adapters;
A Motorola Lapdock
So there are 3 different models, and it seems that the 'lapdock 500' is _not_ hackerfriendly, but the 2 others are. There might be friendly-maker tricks to apply to this model though ...
Watch out for german lapdocks, as they aren't QWERTY ;)
Micro HDMI D female to HDMI male
I already have a Micro HDMI male to HDMI male cable, which I think i will use in the beginning, but is waaaaay too long.
Come to think of it, let me hunt for a ~20-30cm one ;)
- http://www.ebay.nl/itm/HDMI-1-4-D-type-Micro-HDMI-Male-to-Micro-HDMI-Female-M-F-Extension-Cable-30cm-/150787975260?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item231ba9e85c

But I don't know if the above solution will have all the right ground cables connected ...
Micro USB 2.0 B female to USB 2.0 male A
- http://www.ebay.nl/itm/USB-2-type-A-Male-to-A-Male-Converter-Adapter-Connector-/280401614257?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Cables&hash=item41493d15b1#ht_2108wt_1336
- http://www.ebay.com/itm/270798436083?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This will end up being just a ~27cm cable together :)
Dreams
One thing that would be really awesome, and a good Recyclable Effort item that I would like to be able to offer to other people doing this, is a 3D printable case for the RasPi that actually docks onto the laptop.
