Ben Heckendorn, the man whose life’s work is to make good gadgets better, has built a Playstation 3 into a laptop. Inside is the original 60GB model, purchased before Sony crippled backward compatibility with PS2 games.
The mod has all the trimmings necessary to make this a true Ben Hack: USB ports, stereo speakers and amp, HDMI connection, full keyboard and a huge 17″ 720p LCD monitor. There’s even a slot loading Blu-ray drive, something not even seen in many “real” notebooks, and the whole box is thinner than a stock PS3, although at 16lbs, this is less a portable and more a luggable.
Ben built this to order for his second home on the web, Engadget, which intends to sell it in a charity auction. Do want.
