the wii laptop

My favorite console mod-god, Ben Heck is at it again. This time, he’s helped Engadget take Nintendo’s Wii gaming console and turned it into a laptop.

Wii Laptop

The portable features a 7-inch widescreen LCD monitor, and even has a built-in “sensor bar” replacement at the top of the screen. The console is a totally self-contained system with stereo speakers, A/V ports and a built-in power supply and storage bay for the cord. The whole thing measures just 8.5 x 7.7 x 2 inches. The guys over at Engadget are also going to be posting a “making of” series for the mod in the coming weeks, so if you’re handy and have a spare Wii lying around, you might want to give that a look.

    That sounds neat. Although the gameplay mechanics of Wii are kinda weird for portability.

    Man, this thing is Sweet! How much are you, and that is if you are, gonna sell it for? And one last thing, where would I be able to get one?
