Here’s another marvelous mod from moder extraordinaire Ben Heck, this time it’s a Sony SP3 Laptop.
The PS3 Laptop features a 17-inch LCD HTV screen capable of producing HD content in 720p. This screen size and resolution make it perfect for gaming and watching high-definition movies, providing a crisp and clear visual experience that rivals many modern devices.
Technical Specifications and Features
Ben used an original 60GB PS3 with backwards compatibility, which means it can play a wide range of PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 1 games. This feature is particularly valuable for gamers who have a collection of older games and want to enjoy them on a modern device. Additionally, the PS3 Laptop includes a built-in keyboard, USB ports, a headphone jack, and stereo speakers. These features make it a versatile device that can be used for more than just gaming. For instance, the built-in keyboard allows for easy web browsing and communication, while the USB ports enable the connection of various peripherals such as external hard drives, additional controllers, or even a mouse.
Design and Build
This amazing mod weighs 16 pounds and measures 17 x 13.75 x 3 inches. While it may not be the lightest or most compact laptop, its size and weight are a testament to the complexity and functionality packed into this device. The robust build ensures durability, making it a reliable companion for gaming on the go or at home.
The PS3 Laptop took Ben over a year and a half to complete, working on it intermittently between his other projects. This dedication and attention to detail are evident in the final product, which seamlessly integrates the functionality of a PlayStation 3 with the portability of a laptop. The cool thing about this mod is that Ben and Engadget have teamed up, and it will be auctioned for charity. This collaboration not only highlights the innovative spirit of the modding community but also supports a good cause, making this project even more special.
So make sure you head on over to both their sites to check out the full details.
