April 19th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

It’s about time we catch up with the infamous Ben Heck, the man who can turn any console, any computer into a gorgeous custom laptop or handheld, the man to whom epic poems will one day be written. You knew that he had built an Atari 2600 handheld, a PSOne handheld and PS2 laptop, an XBox laptop, an NES and SNES laptop / handhelds just to name a few, right? If not, you can catch up on benheck.com … but behold his latest two creations: The Apple IIGS laptop and the PS3 laptop.

First, the Apple IIGS:

Based off an original IIGS motherboard, the one-of-a-kind laptop features a 15-inch color screen, custom acrylic keyboard, a CompactFlash-based hard drive, and — most importantly — a glowing blue IIGS logo that flashes yellow during disk access.
