The guy who built the Xbook<\/a> – an Xbox One console\/laptop hybrid – has focused his attention on the PlayStation 4, putting together what he calls the PlayBook 4.<\/p>\n

Ed Zarick built what is essentially a PlayStation 4 laptop using self-taught skills, and I must say it does not look too shabby.<\/p>\n

The PlayBook features the PS4’s internals inside a 3D-printed plastic case and is attached to a 22-inch 1080p LED display.<\/p>\n

Available in black and white with customisation options, as shown in the video below, a\u00a0PlayBook takes about two to three weeks to build and starts at $1,095… if you provide your own PS4, that is.<\/p>\n

If you don’t feel like providing your own console,\u00a0Zarick will charge you $1,395 for one of his creations. They are only available in the United States at the moment, so you will need a US forwarding address to get your hands on one.<\/p>\n

Zarick says that construction of the PlayBook 4 does void the console’s warranty, but it does not affect gamers’ ability to play online through PSN.<\/p>\n
