It’s finally up on Engadget.com. Click here to be whisked away to it.
Please keep in mind this is a hardware retrofit, and thus shouldn’t be affected by the “modifed firmware bans” than have occured recently on Xbox Live. To quote a classic 90’s movie – “that sort of thing isn’t my bag, baby!”
First
Where have I heard that line before? Shit, this is gonna drive me nuts…
Austin Powers?
hey why dont you make a 2nd version of the wii laptop. just dont use my wii
dude will u make one for me?
Please tell me about the rate of x-box 360 in INR
Would it be possible to buy several of these from you?
dude man you made this you have got to make me 1 cos i want xbox 360 now (ps3 was crap thats why i want 1 now) and you got it in hd (man)please ill pay you what ever you want
i will pay you around 700-900 dollars to make me one of these ( would like to know wat im paying for) i may pay more.
Can i get in hd ?
is there anything missing from a standard 360 ?
can u put a cam in it for me ?
can you use an xbox from the uk (because thats were i live and it would be more compatable) ?
can i still get live (and can i transfer my account) ?
can it be made quickly?
i know these are a lot of questions but im sure for around a thousand dollars its worth it.
Please e-mail me if you will/wont make me one. and i am a big fan of all your console’s
Thanks
Liam
hey ben, ive benn reading alot of your articles and i keep staring at these xbox laptop ones. how much would u charge for one of these . and i was also wondering if u can fix my 360. it has the red light problem.
Hey,I would like to make an offer from 900-1500 on your Xbox 360 laptop.Please e-mail me with your answer.
yo nice xbox laptop ill give u around 5 grand fo one son just hit me up lata homie
YOU ARE FRICKEN AWSOME! dont worry i cant make an offer on your 360laptop (im broke) but that is really cool, i do have ask if you do anything like that for the origanal xbox? but still very very cool…
Thats cool i just might have to build one myself XD
I recently have taken this project on in hope that I could recreate what ben has, only to find that its harder then i thought. However my only concern is i cant find anymore of the westinghouse 17 screens! I have also emaild been in regards to this. Does anyone know of a current 17 screen that coud be used?????????
plz if u have any ideas

elo…what you have done is amazing… i would love to be able to make one myself but unfortuantly i am not that clever… how much do you charge to make one… i am willing to pay whatever the price it takes, so if you could please email me with any details, i would be so greatful, a laptop xbox would make not just my day but life SERIOUSLY!
If you would do “Anything†for one of these at “Any price†then why don’t you just make one? He gives you all the instructions you need. You might even be able to incorporate a battery or find a way to make it better/more personal. I would like to see more people being as resourceful as Ben and make a wide variety of these things. I’m working on making a steam punk laptop right now but when I’m done I’m going to see if I can make one of these and put a battery on it. Any thoughts on that Ben?

You can pretty much use any monitor you want but you WILLNEED a multimeter and some intuition mixed with some time
ANd to all the ppl asking the price for this is well justified at 3500 considering the work it takes …i know i built one and it is time consuming…..i spent 6 hours alone on a pc turning a 3-d design into g-code just to mill my second case on a CNC and that is only cosmetic ..and im a carpenter so that part was my job so just think ben doesnt have a 600,000 dollar 5 axis cnc so thats more cost incurred so before anyone has anything to say about monitary issues think of this and then imagine the time it takes to rewire the guts.
i am by no means stupid but to not lie i almost threw the project out the window a few times so if you think you can build it do so, other wise appreciate the laptop for what it is and cough up the cake$
Can you tell me where you go the case and plastic from and just E-mail me at Skylerballerhoops@gmail.com Thanks.
i want one. theres friggin sharks with friggin laser beams attached to there friggin heads but even that cant beat the 360 laptop
Haha honestly i would not attempt to build your own if you do not have a good background with electronics and have some knowledge on how to sauder parts together. I myself have undertaken the challenge of trying to build one and it is quite difficult, even with my dads help (who is an electrician) this is still a very difficult and time consuming build. DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!
i was wondering if there is any way you can contact me about the xbox 360 my email is hkyguy13@yahoo.com
