No, you certainly CAN learn to make one. There just isn't a tutorial to walk you through it.

There are tutorials, however, explaining individual aspects of console modding; learn these, and you will be able to apply those skills and information towards a difficult and expensive project (such as a PS3 laptop).

If you have specific questions, we are here to help. Just don't expect any hand-holding.

I recommend trying to portablize a console that would be a lot simpler. and then once you've mastered some of the skills required for serious modding, do a PS3 laptop. There are a lot of things that are common when adding a screen and custom case to any system, so that's why I say do something easier and less expensive first. Even get Ben's book or read the work logs here to understand the basics. If you're comfortable with the PS3's internals already, then you'd be able to figure out everything on your own, after that.

Well you can buy broken ps3 that does not read disc or movies and go from there. Could get one on ebay for 50-80 dollars. Work with that takes notes and than construct one with everything working.

I will second starting with another console, something like an n64 or mini snes is fairly easy and a great starting point, mainly what you eill learn is case construction. But id imagine you want something more up to date, the ps1 slim is good, some amazingly good games (yes even now) and its covered n bens book. the wii is laso very good, small motherboard, and the whole thing can be made really really thin with minimal modification. So start with something smaller, draw lots and lots of desgns, make the case last and make the case look nice. If you think your not up to removing/desoldering/extending then dont risk it, its better to have a slightly bigger ps3 P than to have a dead mother board. good luck :) .
