Off Topic Friday!: The Wii Laptop

The good great people at Engadget have turned to the console-to-portable genious Ben Heckendorn to turn their already beautiful Nintendo Wii into something quite gorgeous- a (if you haven’t already guessed) Wii Laptop.
This lovely invention was first brought to my attention HERE in our very own forum (Yeah, we do have a forum!) The laptop features all the connections the standard Wii bears- All the GameCube connections (controllers, memory cards, etc …), connection for Wii sensor bar and an AV port for the Wii’s cable to connect to a TV or monitor.
The Wii Laptop also features a built-in sensor bar, a 16:9 widescreen LCD screen (7-inch diagonal) and power supply - plus a compartment for the power cord. Basically, if you want it - it’s got it!
The system looks to be very well built and a project I would certainly like to partake in myself.
So check out Engadget for more pictures and their (upcoming) ‘How-To’ guide.
For now, here’s a short video of the system in action:
