  • For me its perfect I would love to have one myself Kenneth Stewart 304 871 6162 call anytime

  • I Don't think the monitor and overall size of it is bad, it's a happy medium between portability and viewing experienc, no compromises in my opinion.  However, I would like the OPTION for using the Kinect as it has some great voice commands.  It would have been even better if the design could have fit the kinect within the build, somewhat like many laptops with built in webcams, which could be ideal if you're going to skype, or play on twitch and you want to include yourself playing.

  • Good job.I liked the the project the only bad thing for me is that its a little big.

    The only thing I believe should be different is that if you could make the blu ray external or make it like a back stand so it should work good at the right angle and make the case thinner and with better stand.

    Any way good job.Next PS4!!!

  • Nice build Ben! I think the screen size is ok - defenitely not too large. Since you asked about what I would have like to see done differently:

     

    1. focus more on the kick-stand. Current solution looks a bit too fragile for such an expensive and heavy setup. It's a good idea to cover the screen with something that is slim, but the kick-stand part needs something more sturdy.
    2. revisit your decision to cover Kinetic port. Why would you want to cover the Kinetic port as there was no need to do so? Instead, I would have like to see you work to build something that would hold Kinetic firmly on the top of the device (if connected).
    3. disk loading. I know - it was a large project, but still... Maybe I'm just too used to see great designs.

     

    Thanks for making these cool projects and creating videos about these. I hope I would be some day skillful enough to build something even remotely similar. :-)

  • Cool Tablet. I was wondering if you tried flipping the blue ray. This mod would be great for a Lan party if Xbox still allow a simple lan connection. For changes I might add a HDMI out to go to a bigger TV. Did you put a carrying handle on the unit? Maybe a shoulder strap or a case? Thanks Ben
