Here’s another cool mod from moder extraordinaire Ben Heck, this time it’s an Apple IIgs Laptop.

Ben wanted the laptop mod to look like a laptop which had been designed in the 80’s like the Apple IIgs, looks like he has done a pretty good job of it.

Here’s some of the specs.

• Large 15? color screen. Much bigger than the ones on my other 8-bit computer projects (thus far)
• Uses an original Apple IIgs motherboard with RAM expansion.
• Custom acrylic keyboard. It uses the original keyboard PCB, but the buttons were custom made for a cool modern look.
• CompactFlash adapter inside unit functions as an original equipment hard drive.
• Glowing backlit “][” logo. Blue for on, with a bit of yellow during disk access.
• Built-in stereo speakers.
• Side port access for floppy drive, joystick and mouse.
• Can play Arkanoid II!

Head on over to Ben Heck’s website for full details of this amazing mod, there is also a video worth checking out.
