I read in one of my Xbox magazines, that they were going to come out with a 360 laptop. It's still under development and they don't have any dates when it comes out. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything or has heard anything about the Xbox 360 laptop.

This guy is always a great bookmark

The Official Site of Benjamin J Heckendorn (http://benheck.com/09-10-2006/xbox-360-laptop/)

He makes portable versions of all the consoles by stripping down the essentials and packing them into a smaller space.

He then documents it and shows a "making of" on his site, which is always a good read if you want to do your own project.

This is probably where you heard about it.

He just makes them one off - I think you can contact him to commission one.

Thanks, but I don't think that I would really trust another guy with my Xbox 360. And the price is a little high.

I think it includes the xbox-360, he doesn't convert yours but makes it..

I did take your advice and check his website, and the cost was $ 1,200. I don't have that kind of money, do you think I could get a deal on one, or are his prices pretty set.

I don't know, e-mail him and talk to him, I'm sure he'll be happy to answer any questions you have :)

If there is one being planned by Microsoft, then you might be better waiting for it :)

I think I'll talk it over with my dad, then send him an e-mail. I mean it can't hurt to see.

It is a huge amount of work to do what he's doing, and he produces it really well and it looks really good and well finished, for a guy on his own it's pretty impressive. I don't see him making a huge amount of profit on the amount of time he would spend making it. It's not a big operation with parts made in bulk :)

All right I'll give him a shot I guess.
