The Wii Laptop! - Image 1The Wii Laptop! - Image 2


Engadget's Ben Heckendorn has done it again! After the Xbox 360 laptop which he created in September last year, now comes the Wii laptop. Mmm... perfect for that trip to a friend's house, or that really long vacation at your grandma's.

After Nintendo's already-tiny console has been made even smaller, it's impressive to know that it still packs a punch with these specs:
  • 16:9 widescreen LCD, 7-inch diagonal
  • Stereo sound
  • Gamecube controller port
  • Built-in short range Sensor Bar
  • Ports for using original Sensor Bar and A/V output jacks (for use on external display)
  • Built-in power supply and compartment for power cord
  • Dimensions: 8.5 x 7.7 x 2-inches
So, now that he's managed to cut two of the next-gen consoles down to size, does this mean that we'll also be seeing a PS3 laptop some time soon to complete the set?

In the meantime, while we wait to see if Ben Heckendorn's skills will also be used on Sony's newest console, here's a video which shows the Wii laptop in action:

I knew this was bound to happen... first the 360 notebook.. Now this.

Someone will say that they smell a PS3 notebook but Lemme tell you... it will NEVER happen.

If they can do it for the 360 and Wii, then they can do it for the PS3.

That is neat but I do not like this design. You will need to design a better one. :)

Pretty ugly design there, I'll take the 360 laptop anyday.

Wait...why didn't the Safety Warning screen pop up?

 » Yeah, He'll probably make a PS3 laptop.

But be careful not to burn your crotch or set the plane on fire.

 » Bigger screen

The screen is so small, it must be too hard to point at the screen. The actual system is a bit big too. The size of the screen to the system annoys me. :/

he didn't put on the wrist strap...

The only complaints I have are the small screen, but that would make the system bigger anyways. Then there's the fact there is only one port for gamecube controllers, maybe if you could make some kind of wireless set-up to save space, but maybe that would be too complicates, I don't know. Other than that, nice.
