I built a Xbox 360 slim laptop that is less then 2" thick

e14 Contributor

Hi everyone.
The last time I posted here, I was telling you about my new xbox laptop that is only 2.5" thick. I just finished my new 17" laptop that is less than 2" thick and still has all stock ports even the Kinect port.
I did a video on it a day or two ago and a new one today of it at 100% finished.
Please take a look and let me know what you think.
the first video is the newest showing the new unit 100% finished. the second is a longer show and tell. Number 3 is a look at the inside during final assembly. and 4 is a video of the first cooling test.

  • I like you design a lot. The sleekness is real attractive. Although it is cool, I wonder how I could use such a device. I prefer my XBOX on my 46" TV. (46" laptop then?)

     

    Would you be willing to share your plans here on element14?

     

    Some of us are machinists, including me, and could actually attempt to create one similar to yours.

        I had that in mind when i built this. It has all the same ports as a stock 360 slim and works exactly the same way. So you can use it on any size tv you would like the same way you would use any xbox 360.

         This is meant for; say you are going to a LAN party, or you are a kid going to collage or you just take you xbox with you for what ever reason.  am one that lugs my xbox and monitor and cables around alot, it is a head avhe

         the difference in convenience off having one of these, that is as small and light is, with the exception of the battery  the same as the difference between a desktop pc and a laptop pc. My desktop pc monitor is 27", my laptop pcs are 13"15" and 17". If i need to go somewere for a  say a 3 week stay, even though my desktop is by far and away the superior pc with a much bigger monitor, i wouldn't even think of taking it with me. I take one of my laptops. This is meant for the same use.

         It is only 1/4" thicker than my 17" laptlop pc and weighs less.

  • I sent you a message on youtube with some questions.  I watched the videos and subscribed.  Great work especially without a CNC machine!
