The first Xbox One laptop mod has already been made

4.8
We have seen folks create an Xbox 360 laptop mod in the past, but now one person has charged ahead and made a 22 inch laptop from the hardware pieces of Microsoft's Xbox One console. It comes from the hands and tools of experienced modder James “DarkUncle” Terry.

Terry posted up the results of his labor on his YouTube channel Monday. As you can see in the clip, much of the Xbox One's case was reused for this mod, including the front bezel which contains the slot loading disc drive. The Xbox One power light has been reused as as well and placed on the top side of the laptop mod. All of the posts on the back of the console are saved as well.

Terry did add a line out audio port in this mod, in case his buyer wanted to use an external audio speaker or source that is not digital based. Obviously, this creation does not have batteries like a regular laptop, so the owner will have to keep the mod plugged in with the big Xbox One power brick.

That looks pretty cool, but kind of pointless.

Johnny123321 Looks cool, but it's a waste of an Xbox one. What possible reason would you want a semi portable Xbox One?


use your brain and you will find out


Can't really think of a good enough reason besides transportation, other than that seems pointless to turn An Xbox One like this. Give me a reason why one would need something like this.

That is some insane engineering. I would love one of those for travel. Pretty cool and impressive to say the least.

Wow that's awesome. I guess transporting it would be a lot easier like that.
