My latest project is the Xbox 360 Portable. Figured that was a more appropriate name than laptop, because seriously, who’d put this in their lap? It weighs almost as much as my sister’s cat.
New Xbox 360 Portable Experience
It differs from my past Xbox 360 laptops in several ways:
- Removable standard Xbox 360 hard drive for easy profile/data swapping
- Both memory card slots accessible, same reason.
- No keyboard! Really, they have those chat pads, what’s the point? (Besides looking cool)
- Simplified layout of ports and buttons.
- Internal wi-fi module, no external antenna. Antenna is strung out inside unit like other consoles/laptops.
- Beveled edges! Countersunk screws!
Containing the full-sized 360 hard drive caused this unit to be about 1/2″ thicker than past models.
For a bunch more photos and info please read the rest of the story below. The THQ Darksiders prize laptop is the same model as this one but covered with artwork of course.
This black unit was a commissioned model, as for new large-project orders I probably can’t take more until the spring. If you do wish to suggest a project to me remember weirder is always better!
