2: This particular project will matter more than you do 20 years from now.

He's right, it would kick a$$, you would have a killer gaming machine and a fully functional computer in one

Or you could buy an AlienWare laptop and have the same on a sexier form factor, but if that's what you want, what would be the point of having this XBOX 360 1337 laptop anyway?]]>Feb 4th 2008 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/the-xbox-360-elite-laptop-ben-heck-strikes-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/the-xbox-360-elite-laptop-ben-heck-strikes-again/Feb 4th 2008 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/the-xbox-360-elite-laptop-ben-heck-strikes-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/the-xbox-360-elite-laptop-ben-heck-strikes-again/Feb 4th 2008 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/the-xbox-360-elite-laptop-ben-heck-strikes-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/the-xbox-360-elite-laptop-ben-heck-strikes-again/
Wow, a list of crap that works with Linux!

"...the 360 is utterly worthless to me."

Ah, so just a bulky, overpowered laptop with Linux it, then. You're right. That *WOULD* be sweet!

Just because Linux exists, doesn't mean it would be cool or useful to slap it on everything with a processor.]]>Feb 4th 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/the-xbox-360-elite-laptop-ben-heck-strikes-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/the-xbox-360-elite-laptop-ben-heck-strikes-again/
