Not bad, eh?

Rewind back to late 2006. The PS3 was launching alongside the Wii and geeky editors like ourselves were having a field day. We'd already managed to convince our our good pal Ben Heck to build the Wii Laptop, so it was only a matter of time before we started brainstorming on how the hell we could possibly fit a PS3 into a "portable" enclosure. That's the part where Ben stepped up his game and worked his magic -- on and off for almost a year and a half -- to build... the PS3 Laptop!

The essential specs:

    * 17-inch LCD HDTV screen: 720p
    * HDMI-DVI connection (same as last Xbox 360 laptop)
    * Built-in keyboard, USB ports, stereo speakers, headphone jack
    * Size: 17 x 13.75 x 3-inches
    * Weight: 16 pounds!

the wii laptap case sucks. i'd rather have seen it larger and like a macbook xbox360 would be good in white and green too

i know the PS3 can run operating systems but what about these bad boys?

working away on MS Office on the train then switch over to guitar hero, would be awesome

I definitely prefer the PS3 laptop than the XBOX. It has a more sexy design!

RE: The PS3 Laptop by Chris4 on 04-12-2008 at 12:50 AM

Only if they were put on sale... :P

I think you mean OpenOffice.org, cause it is not intended to run Windows, but Linux.  But be my guest and surprise me with someone running Windows on it.  But several Linux distributions have been optimised to run on the PS3.
