How to make a Wii laptop: part 2 and 3


Remember that awesome Wii Laptop the folks at Engadget made? Well, we posted their first how-to in a series of three, teaching all of us the know-how needed to craft our own. What we neglected to mention, however, was that parts two and three have both been published for your viewing pleasure. So, in case you're still stuck around step one (given that you were able to procure a spare Wii to try this on), have at it and complete the project. Don't forget to let us know how it went!

Engadget puts a Wii in your lap



Or should that be on your lap? Either way, one thing's true -- our cooler, better looking Engadget office mates never let us play with their toys, and they get all the best stuff. Sigh. Well, in this case, they make all the best stuff, and soon, they're gonna show you how to create your very own Wii laptop. This bad boy isn't made to just sit around and look pretty, either; it's the real deal tucked into a portable package. Scope the features:

  • 16:9 widescreen LCD, 7-inch diagonal
  • Stereo sound
  • Gamecube controller port
  • Built-in short range sensor bar
  • Ports for original sensor bar and A/V output jacks (for use on external display)
  • Built-in power supply and compartment for power cord
  • Dimensions: 8.5 x 7.7 x 2-inches
Next week, they're going to start putting up a step-by-step tutorial for those of you who suddenly find themselves with a nice, new burning desire for portable Wii action. And if you want to see this one in action, you can head over and check out the video and a huge image gallery showing off the Wii laptop from every angle.
