Ben Heckendorn, master of stuffing old gaming consoles into portable packaging, has just revealed what is arguable his most intricate project yet, a homemade laptop filled with Atari 800 guts.

This throwback to the early days of video games sports an 8-inch TFT screen, dual speakers, full QWERTY keyboard, 2-player controls, cursor control knob, CompactFlash “disk drive,” and two joystick ports. Even better, Heckendorn included an error reference list right next to the display, which would be super-handy to have on regular laptops, except that a list of Windows error codes would probably require a 500-foot tall screen.

Features:

8" TFT screen, dual speakers
CompactFlash "disk drive" storage (16 megs currently)
Built-in Ni-MH battery, can charge while running
Full keyboard
Built-in Player 1 & 2 controls.
Joystick ports
Cursor control knob (the thing below space bar)
Slim SIO floppy drive port for hooking up extra drives, or to a PC.
Brushed aluminum & woodgrain case
"Error list" printed on case in reference to old portable/pocket computers.
