It's not the portable Xbox 360 from Microsoft that we're expecting, but it's still Xbox-on-the-go. It's by Benjamin Heckendorn, and it's a laptop with the functions of an Xbox 360. It's his latest, actually, and it's different from his previous Xbox 360 laptops because:
  • it has removable standard Xbox 360 hard drive for easy data-swapping.
  • both memory card slots are accessible, for the same reason as above.
  • it has no keyboard
  • the ports and button layout has been simplified
  • the wi-fi module is internal, no external antenna
  • it has beveled edges and countersunk screws
Watch this demo vid as Ben shows us his latest creation. "Don't build what you can buy," he says. Lol. Well we sure can't buy that, and he built one BIG TIME.



I want one of those! Who cares if it's a bit heavy? Imagine playing on a full screen wherever you go. Now THAT is creative genius right there. You can find more details and images from Benjamin Heckendorn's own site. The source link will take you there.



Made me remember this guy:

 » That's awesome!

I've been thinking about getting a 360 just for Halo and all those exclusive games. I just wish I could order one of those...

You guys actually think that a guy who modded his Xbox into a portable LAPTOP by completely taking it apart at it's seams and then putting it back together including adding a hard modded LCD to the mix can't fix a rrod himself?

There's a Wii, a PS3, a NES and a SNES in the background. This guy is a real hardcore gamer. :D

 » Cool, but what was the point?

This is so cool! Now he can play games for both the PC and 360!
...Oh wait...they have the exact same game library...

 » Not really...

This has nothing to do with a PC....it's just an xbox....

I think it is sweet, very convenient for LAN parties.....

It's too bad it needs to be plugged in though, otherwise you could play games on the bus or plane.....maybe he will develop a huge battery pack for it :P
