PS5 Laptop: $2750 9.5-Pound Gaming Beast

PS5 Laptop: A 9.5-Pound Gaming Beast

Cutting corners: A Chinese company, BBook AI, has created a massive 17.3-inch PS5 laptop. Gaming laptops suddenly seem sleek in comparison. This behemoth weighs 9.5 pounds, plus another pound for the power brick. For context, the PS5 Slim weighs 7.1 pounds, and the regular PS5 is 9.9 pounds.

The laptop’s 3D-printed chassis gives it an industrial look. Inside, it boasts the full PS5 internals: an 8-core Zen 2 CPU, a 36-compute-unit RDNA 2 GPU, 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, and 825GB of PCIe 4.0 storage.

Unique Features and Trade-offs

It features a built-in 17.3-inch 4K display with 100% DCI-P3 color coverage and a full-sized keyboard. However, the 60Hz refresh rate is underwhelming, and the lack of a battery means constant connection to a power outlet is required. The noise output is also considerable.
