    Xbox 360 Laptop
    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

    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.
