I've just this minute sent an e-Mail to Ben, asking if he could take a few weeks/months out of his busy shedule, to make a Version 2.0. I would like to see the following improvements:
Bigger HDD
1080p/1080i Screen
Space for additional USB Ports
Make it portable, a 7KG (16 pound) laptop is not very portable, so try to make it weigh less
Put a battery in it, this more defines the 'p' at the end
If you could meet these it would make it better and more of a complete engineering feat.
Please feel free to debate!

Thanks , if you could get right on this right away i'd appreciate it.
What? Payment you say? Oh there will be nothing of that nature , i'd just like to see it , for entertainment purposes."
See how that sounds? Would you do it if someone sent you an email asking for such a thing?
Also , most of your improvements lack logic. You can add additional USB ports by plugging in a HUB , a 1080p/i screen at that size would offer little or no improvement over 720p and lastly , make it weigh less? You think he made it way that much on purpose? I seriously doubt there's anything in there which is unneccesary and adds to the weight.

I doubt he'll pay attention to your email, which will be mixed in the sea of PS3 laptop and PS360 controller requests.
As for possibility, some of your requests are not feasible at this time. "Make it weigh less" and "add a battery"? It would need a very strong (read: not light) battery to run longer than 5 minutes, since the PS3 was never designed to run off batteries. There's 1080i screen? The difference between 720 and 1080 is hard to tell on a 17" screen.
Expect to pay dearly for such a creation. (Think "I could buy and insure a decent used car for that price".)

This post takes the typical "OMG build me a XBOX 360 laptop for $25!!!" and kicks it up a notch. Bravo for being original.
You should've asked him to also make it run for 30 hours off of a single AA battery (and the laptop recharges the battery when it's not in use, somehow). And it'll cook you dinner and wash your car. And there's also a button on the back that you can push, and BOOM it converts itself into a 360 laptop.
And, since the whole thing'll only weigh 6 ounces, it can EASILY fold up small enough to fit into your pocket and bring to a friend's house.

1.The ps3 by itself draws 300W. No battery will power that for ver long unless you strap something huge on.
2.All components Ben put in his laptop would have been stripped down as much as they could. Making it with more features and bigger screens plus aforementioned car battery means that the laptop wouldn't even be slightly portable.
And its already an engineering feat no improvements need to be made to make it amazing.
