One ‘Heck’ of a PS3 Slim Laptop

Ben Heck, the hardware modifying extraordinaire, originally conceived the one-and-only ‘PS3 Laptop‘ back in 2008. However, since then, the original PlayStation 3 slimmed its size and as such the PS3 Laptop needed one “Heck” of a redesign to keep up with the program.

According to the modification aficionado, the design held the possibility of being shelled in a smaller form-factor but was not because the attached 17″ screen was a must for the laptop.

Here are the specs of the redesigned PS3 Laptop from Ben Heck’s personal blog:

PS3 Slim Hardware, with cool-running 45nm architecture. Very VERY quiet.
17″ widescreen LCD with HDMI-DVI digital connection.
Built-in power supplies / compartment for the AC cord.
Push button volume control with stereo speakers.
Sleek white monochromatic styling with pin stripes.

and another note, how is it powered? lithium ion batteries, or does it still need to plug in?

very fucking cool, I would buy this in a heartbeat.
I also agree with BigWoopMagazine, throw a laptop style keyboard in the middle and this thing is the best for gaming on the go.
Hell, I bet (with Mr Ben Heck’s knowhow) there is some way to add a laptop battery or something with a longer power life so this would be the ultimate PSP.

That’s pretty badass. It must have cost a pretty penny, though. I could totally see people buying one of those to play on a trip… move over PSPgo Ahahaahaaa!

So when is someone going to essentially profit off of this stuff and sell these things? I would so pay 600 for 1 if I had the money

Fair do’s thats well clever! I doubt he’d be given license to sell them Makai. A company like sony would tear him a new arsehole in court if he did, i would imagine.
10/10 for the finished product tho, gotta be said.
