The famed Ben Heckendorn concocted the first Wii Laptop of note way
back in 2007, but ever since, the modding community at large has been
toiling away on ways to improve it. ShockSlayer, a member over at Mod
Retro, has accomplished just that, with his predictably titled Wii
Laptop relying on a 7-inch LCD, an integrated sensor bar, a couple of
polycases and inbuilt speakers. There's hardly anything here that
couldn't be found at your local Radio Shack, save for the SunDriver --
that particular product has enabled him to ditch the DVD drive and
install a SATA HDD within. From there, he burned his Wii game discs
and loaded 'em all inside, making the whole thing extra mobile. Oh,
and did we mention that it's powered by rechargeable batteries?
Because it is. Marvel at the completed device in the video after the
break.
