XBox 360 Laptop Mod Created

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the work-of-art dept.

Heffenfeffer writes "Benjamin J. Heckendorn has custom-built an XBox 360 laptop. It features a 17" widescreen 1280x720 progressive-scan HD display, breakout ports for VGA and component inputs, built-in Wi-Fi, and even an integrated keyboard — all in a 14 pound, 2.8 inch thick enclosure. A journal of its construction is also available for those wanting to make their own. As this was built on commission, you're welcome to ask him to build you another one, but 'beware of sticker shock.'"

    Once something's been reported on one blog, it may never be reported on any other web site. Ever.

    ...but does it use a Sony battery?

    It doesn't need to, it's got a genuine original article Xbox360 power supply!

    Well, someone tell Ben Heck to fix his damned webserver (which is probably a 3x5" unit in his butt pocket that also plays Neo Geo carts) so we can get on with slashdotting it!

    "Laptop" is a misprint. They mean to "a fully luggable XBox". It's designed to replace the Commodore SX-64 as the portable gaming^W... computing platform of choice.

    Just think, you'll be the envy of the office when you lug it in to work!
