too much screen bezel?? where's the number pad?? are you serious?
how about you build one, mark, and fix these things and then send some pics to engadget so we can see. This isn't a factory produced machine from a major company. This is something a guy thought up and built himself. Come back and talk when you can whip something up like this.
Seriously, game-making companies would be so much better off with people like him designing portable versions of the consoles. Not to mention what this guy could do to the real console designs when given professional (aka factory/company design) tools.
rob, I don't really agree with what mark said, but that is a terrible logical fallacy.
That's like saying one can't criticize a car because one cannot design or build one. Or that one cannot criticize a movie because one cannot make a movie. Etc.
It is just a terrible argument, please don't use it.
@ Jesse S, oh dear shut up. mark acted like a weener and rob called him out on it. the reason we are allowed to bag out a motor vehicle, is because they are built by corporations who have spent lots and lotas of money on a product that they are marketing at you, and if you fell that they have amde an error you are aloud to critisize, whereas this extraordinary man ( ben heck) builds this phenominal machine, that he gave away to engadget to auction for charity, and mark is like " oh my god this isnt factory quality" and then robert puts that dooshbag bacvk in his box. good on you robert im with you. and as for you jesse s dont bring you nancy ass bullshit up in here.
in reply to Jesse S - What rob wrote isn't really a logical fallacy, per se... People criticize things, but their judgement- for most people, anyway- is based on expectations built from the knowledge of creations and experiences of others, as opposed to their own. A true opinion, is an opinion based on one's personal understanding of/with the subject; an opinion sourced from the essence of one's moral/technical/aesthetic sense.
What Mark posted was an opinion that was worded in a way that implies authority in the matter: "Too much screen bezel showing." Mark's comment implies that he, indeed knows of a way in which to easily implement such a thin screen bezel, else, why would he use such an expressed authoritative tone?
The matter isn't that one cannot/should-not criticize unless one is able-- the matter is that one's criticism is worthless, if one is not able- as far as essence of opinion is concerned- as the criticism will be backed only by a feeble understanding of the subject at hand- studying of 3rd person research, at best- as opposed to a personal understanding- a personal relationship, even- with the subject.
So the only logical fallacy by rob, is that he assumed that Mark could not easily accomplish such a task as working together a PS3 laptop, when there was actually no indication that he could not.
But fuck it- it's the internet: Mark is an ungrateful, whiny lil' bitch.
this is amazing and by no means am i putting this thing down, but the only suggestion I would have for Ben for his v2 is to consider a video/audio out so that you could hook it up to your entertainment system or take it on the road as an all-in-one system.

Hack the hypervisor on that thing, and it is /seriously/ worth something nice.
I've always wanted a CBE laptop, and with 512MB of RAM and hw 3d?

i wish i had half the skill that his guy does.
I take that back... I overlooked in the spec sheet the HDMI-DVI port listed.
@Mike10010100
what about his dignity?
@Jesse S:
A car is made by a company. Designed by, approved, tested, modified, etc. by a company. A company means a lot of people.
If someone can build their own car, and if it can function as what's defined to be a car, then I don't think you have much of a place to criticize.
macbook airs stink for me ima gamer but its good at...stuff...not anything particular...but still nice stuff
