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.

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.


Seriously though, use your brain.


It's funny how the concept of desktop replacement, mobile computer laptops are considered useless. If you want to take your xbox with you to a friends house for the weekend, or on a trip. This is completely viable.
Exactly, I mean, SORRY he didn't realize he wasn't aloud to try...


Yeah, I could understand the need to change a desktop to a laptop, but this is a gaming console. Is it really that much of a struggle for you to move the Xbox One from your home to your friends? A weekend at your friends house, what is this a sleep over? Now I understand that you guys are what maybe 10-15 years old.

MightyStank The xbox one was already portable. It's cool that he tried and all and I think this is awesome! But, he still has to carry the power brick and the cords for it. Not really a huge difference in how portable it is. I think he just did it for fun and I think it turned out awesome.


The Xbox One is NOT portable. It's **** massive. Yes you can move it around, but you can also move around a desktop PC but you don't. Yes, it can be picked up, but you aren't going to carry it anywhere but this makes that far easier and practical.

It's a superb assembly. With a bit of car wax applied and buffed on the top, allowing the screen to reflect off the now-shinier case, this becomes incredible.

I think it would be cooler if it had a internal power source so you don't have to have it plugged in for it to work.
