Default The Wii Laptop!!

* 16:9 widescreen LCD, 7-inch diagonal
* Stereo sound
* Gamecube controller port
* Built-in short range Sensor Bar
* Ports for using 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

The Engadget article comes complete with a full range of photos and even a video showing the system actually being used to play Wii Sports. I know that the screen size may come off as being a little on the small size, but the designer has taken that into account by placing the IR LED sensors quite a bit closer together, you should actually be able to play from about one-foot away.

If you’re interested, keep an eye on the site, since starting this coming Tuesday, January 23rd they’re going to be posting up some pretty detailed instructions on how you can build yourself a Wii Laptop.

Ms.Bex is impressed with this....wants one! See these pics and make up your own mind :

It's pretty cool but honestly I would never use it. It isn't really portable because if you play it outside the sun light will mess up the controls plus the sunlight would make a huge glare on the screen. I'd rather just play it on a TV with the Wii having it's full functions That's just me though.

It's a beast! I definately wouldn't have a use for it. I gotta say though, I am more and more impressed everyday that I bought a Wii. Innovation at it's finest. It's making the Next Gen consoles seem mediocre at this point.

Sure maybe they have the graphics and blah blah blah... but the Wii is just so much F******* Fun!!!!
