A groundbreaking Kickstarter project aims to revolutionize mobile computing with the UHPILCL T1000, a hybrid laptop boasting desktop components and integrated liquid cooling. This innovative device allows users to install standard mini-ITX motherboards, opening the door to desktop-grade CPUs and full-sized GPUs, including the powerful RTX 5090.
This ambitious design pushes the boundaries of portable computing power. Unlike traditional gaming laptops that rely on vapor chambers or external docks, the T1000 integrates an open-loop liquid cooling system capable of dissipating up to 720W of heat. This cooling capacity is crucial, especially considering the potential power draw of high-end processors like the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. Users will need to fill the system with deionized water for optimal heat management.
Dimensions and weight comparison of the UHPILCL T1000 and T1000 Super.
The T1000 features a 17.3-inch 3K display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a balance of visual fidelity and smooth gameplay. While weighing in at 4.8kg (and 5.2kg for the “Super” variant with extra cooler height), it’s considerably heavier than typical laptops. However, its portability still surpasses that of a full desktop setup.

Modularity is a key feature of the T1000. Users can easily swap out components like the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage. This makes it a rare example of a truly upgradeable laptop-like device, ensuring long-term value as users can upgrade hardware instead of replacing the entire system.
The Kickstarter campaign is yet to launch officially, so pricing and availability remain unknown. However, the project has already generated significant buzz among enthusiasts seeking desktop-level performance in a semi-portable form factor. The UHPILCL T1000 promises a compelling blend of power and flexibility, potentially reshaping the landscape of high-performance mobile computing.
