Another PS3 laptop hits the scene, but can it stand up to the master?

Granted, we're biased, but it seems to us that Ben Heck's PS3 Laptop could teach this young pretender a thing or two. That said, this here 3 month project by PS3HaX modder "Pirate" utterly unscoffable, and certainly wins some points for that LED-lit window up front. He's hoping to build another version now that he's worked out the kinks in the 1st gen model, and plans to work in more portability and slimness into the new version. Hey, maybe he could slap on a cellphone and a touchscreen while he's at it? Just riffing here. Video is after the break.

awesome just freaking awesome, but does it have hdmi out unlike ben hecks that i never understood

[dvsbstrd @ Aug 10th 2008 10:31AM]

Now I can enjoy such great games as Resistance: Fall of Man, Metal Gear Solid 4, and, umm, Resistance: Fall of Man anywhere I go!

[grex @ Aug 11th 2008 4:11PM]

um, no you won't.

how do you think you'll get one exactly?

[dvsbstrd @ Aug 10th 2008 10:44AM]

*facepalm*

I crown you the retard of all of Sunday

[Fruition @ Aug 10th 2008 8:02PM]

Why doesn't Uncharted get any love? My avatar and I are quite offended.

[creepinshadow @ Aug 10th 2008 10:45AM]

BUT? DOES IT PLAY DOOM???

[obiwan @ Aug 10th 2008 1:04PM]

My food processor plays Doom. OF COURSE it plays Doom!

[thebigDallas @ Aug 10th 2008 5:06PM]

My palm plays doom at a higher fps than you could play it when it came out, irrelevant, but it had to be asked.

[icepop4who @ Aug 10th 2008 7:14PM]

no it doesn't actually. at least, not off the rack, since there is no DOOM for PS3.

[The Dude @ Aug 10th 2008 8:24PM]

WHO CARES AOBUT DOOM? THE MUSIC IS SO OMFG EPIC.

[Setnev @ Aug 11th 2008 9:52PM]

That's almost as dumb as asking the overused questions "Can it play Crysis?" and "Will It Blend?"

[DooM @ Aug 10th 2008 10:48AM]

What's the battery life?

[apple fanboy @ Aug 10th 2008 10:58AM]

3 1/2 minutes lol

[Will @ Aug 10th 2008 9:25PM]

Oh cut the marketing. Just like typical laptop battery figures, that number is irrelevant unless you don't actually *do* anything while you wait for the battery to run down.

Battery life under load is closer to 15 seconds.

[whatsisface @ Aug 10th 2008 11:03AM]

It's only a laptop when it doesn't break your legs while in use.

[Will @ Aug 10th 2008 9:26PM]

I think this would be better called a "portable."

[tekdroid @ Aug 10th 2008 11:06AM]

PS3 blocktop. Look at all those extra inches of value.

[icepop4who @ Aug 10th 2008 7:17PM]

those extra inches could mean the difference between good and OMG.

[The Dude @ Aug 10th 2008 8:18PM]

@tekdroid: "Look at all those extra inches of value."
@icepop4who: "those extra inches could mean the difference between good and OMG."

2xThat's what she said.

[maty @ Aug 10th 2008 11:08AM]

I'd like to see the inside of this. From its thickness, one can only assume he didn't strip down the internals or move them around too much. The keybaord could've been custom-made too for that added 'wow' factor.

That said, I probably couldn't manage it. Credit where its due, valiant effort.

[Mesa09 @ Aug 10th 2008 11:12AM]

Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing in the backround?

[idsym @ Aug 10th 2008 11:29AM]

zoo york by Paul okenfold

[ledhed @ Aug 10th 2008 11:33AM]

Lux Aterna by Clint Mansell from the movie Requiem for Dream

[kitten @ Aug 10th 2008 11:33AM]

It's from the soundtrack of the movie requiem for a dream, I believe the song is the "winter" version (it's named after seasons, you should see the movie to understand it...) great movie though! I did a school project on this movie and its soundtrack (about music in films and psychology and stuff ;) )

Btw, ps3 laptop is cool! it's still kinda heavy though...

[Kurian @ Aug 10th 2008 11:15AM]

It looks like he just took off the top cover of a box and dumped a whole PS3 inside.

[John @ Aug 10th 2008 12:17PM]

Just by the location of the blu ray drive slot, you can tell he moved stuff around a good bit

[SiDD @ Aug 10th 2008 11:30AM]

sweet!!!.....but he could've just removed the top of the PS3 and dumped it inside a big black cardboard box to make his work a lot easier and takes him one step closer to designing the slim too!!

hmmmm......now why didn't he think of that before?!?!

[dante @ Aug 10th 2008 11:34AM]

but will it blend ?

[Kurian @ Aug 10th 2008 11:53AM]

It wont fit.

[RussellBishop @ Aug 10th 2008 12:33PM]

Hahahaa

[Ignatius @ Aug 10th 2008 4:19PM]

Give me a sledgehammer and I'll make it fit.

[xValentine @ Aug 10th 2008 11:40AM]

I want a GunMetal one. :)

[Ethan @ Aug 10th 2008 12:56PM]

From a lean, mean, grilling machine to a portable barbecue, apparently.

[cesium @ Aug 10th 2008 1:02PM]

fuck you iphone bastard

[JAY JAY @ Aug 10th 2008 1:13PM]

I like Ben Heck's better. More style and detail put into it.

[gerbick @ Aug 10th 2008 1:16PM]

I'm still trying to figure out why it's "laughable"... because you'd have to be able to lift more than 5lbs?

[Ignatius @ Aug 10th 2008 4:20PM]

You ever tried to lug around a 15 pound briefcase? It's not fun.

[JAY JAY @ Aug 10th 2008 1:18PM]

dante @ Aug 10th 2008 11:34AM

but will it blend ?

Kurian @ Aug 10th 2008 11:53AM

It wont fit.
--------
Just get the new blendtec 10,000. It has enough room to chop up 2 of those.

[bartoron @ Aug 10th 2008 1:19PM]

The keyboard is kinda small.

[Andrew @ Aug 10th 2008 1:51PM]

Looks nicer/better/sleeker than Ben Heck's.

[Nineteen88 @ Aug 10th 2008 3:02PM]

IT'S MINE! & WE WANTS IT!

MY OWN! .. MY PRECIOUS!

[Phoenix @ Aug 10th 2008 3:06PM]

he just INSULTED apple, that doesn't make him an iPhone bastard

[Yor1001 @ Aug 10th 2008 3:21PM]

I want a 360, ps3 and wii built into a 15.4" form factor laptop, no more than half an inche thick, with a 1080p display and 10 terabytes, and could also dual boot ubuntu, vista and osx.........Yeah I get wet dreams about this stuff....could you blame me...

[iwant @ Aug 11th 2008 10:43AM]

yeah and i want 75 virgins but that aint gonna happen unless i join Al'Queda

[xValentine @ Aug 10th 2008 10:09PM]

And the battery last for 20mins cause it is powered by (20) double A batteries.

Good day sir.

[Setnev @ Aug 11th 2008 9:57PM]

You mean triple boot Ubuntu, Vista, and OSX

[yode @ Aug 10th 2008 3:30PM]

Why the obligatory Requiem For a Dream music lol

[The Dude @ Aug 10th 2008 8:23PM]

I think it's a subliminal connection they're trying to draw. You want a PS3 laptop so bad that you'll let your girlfriend (who coincidentally looks like Jennifer Connelly) whore-out for it.
