Feb 5 2008Portable XBox 360 Elite Laptop Is Legit
Benjamin Heckendorn aka Ben Heck has done it again, this time modding an Elite laptop to include an XBox 360.
The portable Xbox 360 features a Halo 3 theme, and is based on the Elite’s internals. Under the hood, the laptop offers a 120GB hard drive, the new 65nm CPU, and a special direct DMI-to-DVI connection which keeps the video signal digital all the way to the laptop’s ample 17-inch LCD screen.
It also has a built-in Xbox Live camera and is pretty much the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So Ben, I was thinking maybe sometime you and I could get together and hang out. You know, shoot the bull, maybe watch you build me one of these. Of course I'd pay for it. And by pay for it I mean convince my sister to sleep with you.
A couple more pictures, a video, and a link to Ben's build page after the jump.

...But not as impressive as that portable multi-console device I was ranting about in the post about the PS3-ripoff.

Halo is so overrated. PC games have been as good looking, had better stories, and better more original gameplay years ago.

It LOOKS nice. But it also looks as if it was just as heavy as the original Xbox. It looks like a pain to carry around. Otherwise, the design is nice and sexy. :P
