An Xbox One Slim Turned into a Laptop Thanks to One Creative Modder (VIDEO)
Gamers – we can get really creative sometimes and this is especially true for those who put time into the craft of modification, or “modding”. This particular modder took the already successful Xbox One Slim “S” and rose it to another level of epic usefulness: he transformed it into a laptop.
Ben Hack, the modder behind this deconstruction, took the incredibily powerful Slim and made it a little more portable, despite the already slimmer design. Introduction the Xbox One Slim Laptop:
You can see the full video over at the Ben Heck Show here to see him break it down IRL and the process behind this modification. In the video, Heck talks about the impulse that drove him to take apart the system in the first place and his reasonings behind turning it into a portable computer. He details the process of deconstruction and reconstruction and the transformation into an even more powerful system utilizing a 1080p LCD screen and other various components.
