Lenovo turns your laptop into a far less portable arcade machine

by Griffin McElroy on Jan 5th 2011 9:30PM

Technabob has spied a delightful (not so) little laptop case mod from Lenovo during a CES preview. Designed by modder Dean Liou, the case allows you to turn your adequately sized laptop into an arcade machine in seconds, by sliding it underneath the dock's fight stick controller, and plugging said controller into your computer's USB port. Sadly, Lenovo is just showing off the dock as a proof of concept -- as of right now, there are no plans to take the mod to market.

Sure, this thing would completely eliminate the portability of your lap-sized computer, but, come on. Look at it! It's like an arcade machine for babies. Could you imagine anything cuter than that? Well, an arcade machine for puppies, we guess -- but modern consumer entertainment hardware science is decades away from perfecting that kinda technology. For now, check out a video demonstration of this human laptop arcade mod posted after the jump.

@Faenix

It was a nice thought lol

Would be cooler as a case mod for desktop computers.

Quarter circle forward + HP = Eject disc?

Oh, man! Twice I've seen empty arcade by that shady street, but none of the awesome people I live with are willing to help me carry them! I want to put a monitor and a PC inside it, even though my cousin says it's stupid, cause it's just playing while standing.
