XBOOK One S laptop now available for custom orders

The man has to make money, and we’re not denying him that, but at $1,195 if you already have a console you want to be modded, or $1,495 and up if you don’t, you’ve got to have a lot of cash you’re willing to burn. “When I put in the 22” LCD into my previous XBOOK, I thought the bigger screen would be nice, but what turned out to happen was the system was slightly to big to be truly portable.

“We’re excited by the reaction from fans for the Xbox One S. While stock of the 2TB has sold out, gamers can pre-order the Xbox One S 2TB Gears of War Limited Edition console”, Microsoft tells Eurogamer. According to Zarick, he was unable to source a 1080p screen at that size, let alone one in full 4K resolution. Here is the new XBOOK next to the older version.

Using the thinnest material possible, while maintaining structural integrity with added supports, Zarick made the One S as slim as he could, whilst still adding that built-in display functionality.

Even though the Xbox One is a pretty dismal failure in Japan from a sales perspective (and Xbox in general has never quite managed to do well in the country), Microsoft have continued to maintain a presence in the country, and at its industry events. I had a hard time finding any LCD at that size with 1080p and the reason being that you cannot tell the difference between the two at that size.

Zarick is selling his creations to anyone that needs a video game system to entertain them on the go.

The Xbox One S is an impressive piece of hardware engineering, taking the hulking, VCR that was the original Xbox One and slimming it down to a dramatically smaller and modern-looking box.
