Build Suggestion - PS3/PS4 tablet ??

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

A portable self-contained PlayStation game console in the form of 1 solid slab like a tablet, or a laptop that doesn't fold and instead has the screen built into the top facing upwards.

Ideal use is to mount on a wall while being easily removable so it can also be used on the go. The thickness of the unit would probably be such that it could easily be stood on its side on a table or other flat surface.

I'm basically suggesting a modded + compacted PS4 not a an actual slimline tablet-size device. Older/other consoles would still be a cool build though.

 

Who else agrees/has anything to add?

    This would be huge, it would look like a paving slab or amstrads attempt at an iPad. It would be the same size as the laptops.

    The PS 1 would be fit for so much 'thickness.'

    Maybe instead of giving it a screen how bout making an portable all in one box with a projector and possibly some kind of collapsible white screen.

    What if you scratch the whole idea of a tablet/laptop plan and try this instead.....

    why not take the PSslim & the Xbox 1s and intigrate them  to a single console?

    thia would be awesome to have a single console that could play the hottest games natively!!

    as far as space goes, that an easy one. Needing space for one console is always easier than it is for two.

    I personally would rather see a "Mega" machine than a "portable" one.

    We have enough lightweight portable gadgets.

    I want to see an ultra beast that kick major butt!

    its time for a "Ben Heck Mega Frankenstein Console"!!!

    i know I will get hate for it, but I think it would be awesome and that's just my opinion.

    Thnx for all the great episodes on YT. Keep up the great work!!!
