Sweet! I saw that at Kotaku.com.

That is one beastly laptop. If only it was available on the market. And didn't have that stupid 'p' after the '3' in 'Playstation 3'. Then it would be better. Needs a # pad though. And I could do without that large PSN logo infront of the keyboard. Not the most attractive part of it. But the entire thing looks great. Maybe it can play Crysis at full settings

16 Pounds!!!! That's one Heavy laptop!

I'd still take a 16 pounds PS3 laptop over a Macbook air!

The PS3 Laptop: from Ben Heck to Engadget with love
Rewind back to late 2006. The PS3 was launching alongside the Wii and geeky editors like ourselves were having a field day. We'd already managed to convince our good pal Ben Heck to build another Xbox 360 laptop and the Wii Laptop, so it was only a matter of time before we started brainstorming on how the hell we could possibly fit a PS3 into a "portable" enclosure. That's the part where Ben stepped up his game and worked his magic -- on and off for almost a year and a half -- to build... the PS3 Laptop!

The essential specs:

Original backwards compatible 60GB model
17-inch LCD HDTV screen: 720p
HDMI-DVI connection (same as last Xbox 360 laptop)
Built-in keyboard, USB ports, stereo speakers, headphone jack
Size: 17 x 13.75 x 3-inches
Weight: 16 pounds!

You want this one of a kind piece of kit for your very own, PlayStation fanboys? You got it. We're auctioning this thing for charity real soon, so watch out for details (we'll also have some video of the PS3 Laptop in action on the site tomorrow). And, naturally, big ups to our pal Ben Heck for the long hours and love he put into this thing. The man is truly a hero of ours, so be sure to hit up his site to check out his other projects, as well as the other instructional stuff he's done here on Engadget.
