Atari 800 Laptop

Atari 800 Laptop

Master builder Ben Heckendorn has really outdone himself this time!  His newest mod build is this Atari 800 laptop.  It comes complete with a built-in cartridge bay, speakers, volume knob, and a spring loaded tilting keyboard!  Now if only there was a way to include a built-in 5.25″ floppy drive we’d be in business.

Ben professionally builds portable versions of vintage gaming systems such as Nintendo, Sega, Atari, Commodore 64, etc.  If you’re interested in building one for yourself, he has written a book that shows you how called Hacking Video Game Consoles.

Here is a nifty product from the guys at www.usbcell.com.  How about rechargeable batteries that charge via usb?  Yeah, ok cool idea but way too expensive.  It’s like $18 for TWO batteries!  However, if you hate searching for that charging receptacle you swear you had in your room somewhere, these handy dandy batteries would definitely be for you.
