Darkmatter Xbox Laptop Project and DIY Kit. Build your own!Date: Friday, May 24 @ 01:05:54 UTC Introducing Darkmatter, the world's first Xbox laptop that you can buy as a fully assembled product or in kit form. Now Xbox ONE compatible!  Inspired by Ben Heck and many other modders and hackers in the Xbox Community, Darkmatter is the world's first portable Open Source Xbox system that you can buy as a fully finished product, or in kit form. The project is Open Source and once the funding goal on Kickstarter is met, all design files will be released to the public. The laptop features touch controls for eject, synch, volume etc. It also comes with built in stereo speakers, a headphone jack and an amp. The display is a 15 inch 720p pane. A DVD drive is included and the system is compatible with all Xbox 360 games as it is based on the slim version of the popular Microsoft console. Darkmatter Xbox Laptop Features
The Darkmatter laptop is powered off the same power brick that comes with your Xbox. When you contribute at the $999 or greater levels, you get a fully functional, ready-to-go Darkmatter unit with the power brick included. Please note, Darkmatter is not equipped with an internal battery.   Darkmatter incorporates an Xbox 360 Slim 4GB inside, which means that it supports Wi-Fi connectivity, Xbox Live and all the other Xbox 360 features. As of Update #1, we've announced Xbox ONE compatibility for the $499 reward level (complete kit). The Darkmatter laptop supports all the Xbox apps available through Xbox Live, including the Internet Explorer browser and many other native apps.   In the following video the Techjango team takes the Darkmatter out to San Mateo to demo to Makers, Gamers and DIY enthusiasts from all over the world! "We've exposed all the standard Xbox 360 ports BUT we didn't stop there! We've added a D-type 3W internal stereo amplifier and two internal 3W speakers. PLUS, we've added a stereo headphone jack for crisp audio while on the go." It Looks pretty sweet guys, and soon to be open-source if everything goes to plan. What do you think?
