Chinese modders from Notebook Review Studio have created a custom PlayStation 5 "laptop," dubbed the BBook AI Original Edition. This unique device houses the internal components of a PS5 within a 3D-printed chassis, complete with a built-in screen and custom cooling system.
The system is capable of smoothly running games like Astro Bot. However, it also comes with some significant drawbacks.
Key Features and Drawbacks
- Portability: Despite resembling a laptop, it lacks a built-in battery, requiring a constant power connection.
- Weight: The device is relatively heavy at 4.321 kg (plus a 500g adapter).
- Noise: The system is reported to be very loud, reaching 71.3dB.
- 4K Display: 17.3-inch IPS screen with 3840x2160 resolution, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 60Hz refresh rate
- Internal Specs: Matches the standard PS5's 8-core Zen 2 processor, 36 RDNA2 compute units, 16GB GDDR6 memory, and 825GB PCIe 4.0 storage (2242 spec).
