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
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!
um, no you won't.
how do you think you'll get one exactly?
*facepalm*

I crown you the retard of all of Sunday
Why doesn't Uncharted get any love? My avatar and I are quite offended.
BUT? DOES IT PLAY DOOM???
My food processor plays Doom. OF COURSE it plays Doom!
My palm plays doom at a higher fps than you could play it when it came out, irrelevant, but it had to be asked.
no it doesn't actually. at least, not off the rack, since there is no DOOM for PS3.
WHO CARES AOBUT DOOM? THE MUSIC IS SO OMFG EPIC.
That's almost as dumb as asking the overused questions "Can it play Crysis?" and "Will It Blend?"
What's the battery life?
3 1/2 minutes lol
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.
It's only a laptop when it doesn't break your legs while in use.
I think this would be better called a "portable."

PS3 blocktop. Look at all those extra inches of value.
those extra inches could mean the difference between good and OMG.
@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.
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.
Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing in the backround?
zoo york by Paul okenfold
Lux Aterna by Clint Mansell from the movie Requiem for Dream
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...
It looks like he just took off the top cover of a box and dumped a whole PS3 inside.
Just by the location of the blu ray drive slot, you can tell he moved stuff around a good bit
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?!?!
but will it blend ?
It wont fit.
Hahahaa
Give me a sledgehammer and I'll make it fit.
I want a GunMetal one. :)
From a lean, mean, grilling machine to a portable barbecue, apparently.
fuck you iphone bastard
I like Ben Heck's better. More style and detail put into it.
I'm still trying to figure out why it's "laughable"... because you'd have to be able to lift more than 5lbs?
You ever tried to lug around a 15 pound briefcase? It's not fun.

Just get the new blendtec 10,000. It has enough room to chop up 2 of those.
The keyboard is kinda small.
Looks nicer/better/sleeker than Ben Heck's.
The song isn't Zoo York, by Paul Oakenfold. Zoo York doesn't have the chanting in, and it's got a better beat. That song uses the same strings section in the Oakenfold track, but they're not one and the same. I could be wrong, but i listen to a LOT of Paul Oakenfold. I'd say i'm 99% sure.
IT'S MINE! & WE WANTS IT!
MY OWN! .. MY PRECIOUS!
he just INSULTED apple, that doesn't make him an iPhone bastard
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...
yeah and i want 75 virgins but that aint gonna happen unless i join Al'Queda
And the battery last for 20mins cause it is powered by (20) double A batteries.
Good day sir.
You mean triple boot Ubuntu, Vista, and OSX
Why the obligatory Requiem For a Dream music lol
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.
It makes him a bastard owning an iPhone, according to Steve Jobs though.
ahem
my mind is wondering what does Apple or the iPhone have to do with this?
If that thing is a laptop, then my Mastiff is a lapdog.
i think the word "laptop" is misused here.
More importantly, what does Bill Gates have to do with this?
Rank up or rank down? What do I do? WHAT DO I DO!!??
Its nice, but nowhere near as cool as Ben Heck's
I thought "hey thats not soo big"
Then I saw the video and was like HOLY DICKS!
While he can't make the form-factor smaller, at least he have to make the PS logo smaller....
There is really nothing nicier then an ultra-bright blue LED glowing right in your face :)
But still impressive effort.
