I'm waiting for the "it died because of the heat issue" followup.

I'm not impressed.

I'm impressed, better than I could do.

I agree. Technically cool, but beyond that...

What's the cut off for a "lap top" these days? Under 6" "thin?" That thing looks VERY thick.

I'm impressed, that takes a lot of patience.

What does it weigh?

14 pounds.

And the point is not to have a super-thin ultra-portable laptop 360, it's to prove it can be done with existing parts. This guy can't make components smaller, so give him a break. What he's done with this and all the systems he's made portable is simply ingenious.

Well, technically a keyboard can be used in a few areas.

I know a lot of people play FFXI on the 360 that use a keyboard. Also, for text messages and other areas of text input.

Hmm, I didn't know the 360 supported keyboards yet.

@MacNStein: Sorry... not directed at you. More at posts above yours bashing the design and power cord issue.
