BBook AI's $2,750 PS5 laptop is a 9.5-pound, powerful DIY mod with a 17.3-inch 4K screen, lacking battery but heavy and potent.

: The BBook AI Original Edition is a portable PlayStation 5 laptop that weighs 9.5 pounds, featuring a 17.3-inch 4K display and priced at $2,750. It uses the full PlayStation 5 internals but drops the battery, requiring constant power supply and producing 71.3 decibels of noise. Despite the impressive design, its viability as a commercial product is unclear. The project remains a testament to the ingenuity of repurposing console hardware.

The BBook AI Original Edition transforms the PlayStation 5 into a 9.5-pound laptop with a massive 17.3-inch 4K display and a full-sized keyboard, offered at a hefty price tag of $2,750. Despite its size and the powerful PS5 internals, it excludes a battery, tethering users to power outlets and generating significant noise levels at 71.3 decibels.

Its design features a rugged appearance due to its 3D-printed chassis and includes the identical CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage as the standard PS5. The appeal lies more in its ambition and uniqueness rather than practicality, with the display's 60Hz refresh rate offering less than typical gaming setups, indicating trade-offs in the innovative build.

While its commercial intentions remain uncertain, BBook AI represents a creative undertaking in the gaming community. Enthusiasts may appreciate this mod's blend of power and mobility, but most gamers would likely stick with a standard PS5 and separate monitor setup due to the cost and practicality concerns.
