Hey, remember that super sexy Xbox 360 laptop we reported last week? Remember how we said that Engadget would be posting all the information you need to build one for your very own? Well, they've already posted parts 1 and 2 of their "how-to" series. Now, we would be putting our brains at risk of explosion if we were to try and follow the directions. As such, let's just say that building a 360 laptop involves soldering, desoldering, clipping, snipping, attaching, detaching, and magic.
If you have the means, and if you can read the directions without damaging your grey matter, then you can start with part 1. If you manage to make it through that unscathed, proceed to part 2. All that remains is the looming madness of part 3. We'll let you know when it goes live.

What is the actual benefit of an Xbox 360 laptop? I have both a laptop and a 360. Why do I need connect it, just so that playing with my friens get even harder?
I like it, it's cool, but I just don't see the use.

Looks like a project for someone with alot of time on their hands who likes a challenge.
Seems simpler just to run down to your local computer shop and buy a laptop already put together.
Must be fun to do though.

@Dragod/Gizmoactive,
I don't think you guys understand what's going on here. This isn't a homemade laptop computer, this is a portable xbox 360. Ben Heck made the case, took the internals out of a regular xbox 360, and wired it into the case/keyboard/monitor to create a portable 360. That thing doesn't run Windows and MS Office... it runs Gears of War and Lost Planet ;)

That portable 360 looks like a prop from the original Batman series. FUGLY!
