A modder by the name of Edward Zarick has managed to solve one of gamers' biggest problems whilst making one of their dreams come true at the same time -- he has created a laptop called the PlayBox that lets you enjoy both Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
This device manages to fit a Playstation 4 and Xbox One into a laptop contraption fitted with a solid base that holds all the internal machinery and a 22-inch Vizio screen. The Playstation and Xbox components are stored in separate compartments, but the machine uses a single power cord.
Created at the request of a customer, the PlayBox is equipped with Wi-Fi -- for both consoles -- and ethernet ports.
Zarick only took about a month to create the PlayBox, which is pretty amazing given its ease of use despite incorporating two separate and different gaming consoles.
