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.'"

    Normally, once the site is dead it is too late for the Coral cache, but we lucked out this time. Images and everything!

  2. Laptop? by Jeff+DeMaagd · · Score: 2, Informative

    Laptop is a misnomer for most mobile computers, mostly because they tend to run very hot. The manuals generally say to not use them on laps or any soft surface. This is why most advertising, manuals and other text says they are notebooks. The misnomer is doubly so for this thing, though probably because of the weight. It's more like a luggable.
