As shown in the video, Pick had to scrape down the plastic and braiding on his cables to ensure that the cords bent in such a way that they could handle the twists and turns that the tiny case required. The result is a computer that looks snazzy on the outside, but had to forego some of its inner beauty to maintain the small size.Īnd it wasn’t just the Pi that found itself being sacrificed by a Dremel.

While the build is not an actual Mac in the flesh (the Pi, notably, is based on an ARM chipset, a superset of which will drive Cupertino’s forthcoming Apple silicon computers), the build is nonetheless impressive because of the steps Pick took to miniaturize the machine to fit inside of the painted 3D-printed case, which is small enough that he had to remove some of the Raspberry Pi’s USB ports, as well as the Ethernet port, to get it to fit. “I've built a lot of computers over the years and thought it would be fun to see how close I could make a Pi resemble a full-size computer,” Pick said. In an email interview, he said that his miniaturization projects have been inspired by the similarity in appearance between a Raspberry Pi and a more traditional motherboard. (It’s part of a long history of operating systems pretending to look like MacOS.)
Not quite a Hackintosh except maybe in the sense that it was carefully hacked together, the device benefits from iRaspian, a Mac-lookalike variant on the Debian-based Raspberry Pi OS that was recently folded into Twister OS, which adds exacting Windows skins to the mix.
