Hasta La Gadget!

Master modder Ben Heck has always dazzled with his hacks that transform the Xbox 360, PS3 and other video game consoles into the devices, the likes of which you have never seen before.

Now Heck is back with a mod that stuffs the Xbox 360 into what he calls a ’slim’ laptop like casing. The device has internal power supply and is pretty quiet, he says.

The machine is 16 inches x 10.5 inches in size and has all the regular features of an Xbox 360 including Wi-Fi and online connectivity. The system has touch power and eject buttons and is connected to a 17-inch Gateway LCD capable of 720p display.

And if you are wondering if the Xbox 360 laptop can act as a regular laptop too, the answer is no. Heck says in the video below that the device doesn’t have dual-boot functionality.

Heck, who has made three of these Xbox 360 laptops, is giving away one on his show. The other two will be available for purchase.
