Someone Transformed An Xbox One S Into A Laptop

Microsoft made the Xbox One S lighter and more powerful, with a more economical (and pretty!) interior design that allowed them to fit the power supply inside the case. But, it was still a big home console — not portable, right? Well, it wasn’t until modder Ed Zarick got his hands on it.

Zarick has made Xbox modding his thing, with a specialty in turning Microsoft’s home consoles into laptops — well, using the Laptop form factor, anyway. Not sure this would be too comfortable on the lap. Because the Xbox One S is smaller and slimmer than the previous console, Zarick’s Xbook One S is smaller than his previous laptop versions of the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. This time, he’s attached a 19″ Samsung HD LCD TV to a modded version of the console — not really high resolution, but there’s an HDMI port for home use with better televisions. The best addition might be built-in stereo speakers inside the console itself.

The Xbook One S retains all of the Xbox One’s functionality — it has both wired and Wi-Fi internet connectivity and works with Xbox One controllers over either a wired or wireless connection. Zarick says any modifications that have been made keep the Xbox One street legal, so you won’t get hit with a ban from Xbox Live.

Usually, this is the part where we tell you that this was just a cool modding project that you’ll have to admire from afar, but Zarick is actually making and selling these. He’s accepting orders for the Xbook One S on his website, asking $1,495 for a 500 GB console and $1,545 for a 1 TB console. A $750 deposit is required for either one, and Zarick estimates two to three weeks for shipping, as he makes them to order.
