There are plenty of PlayStation fans looking for a true Vita successor. Portal is a nifty gadget, but it’s not exactly the same thing. YouTube Channel DIY Benefits Sony claims it has everything it needs to build a portable PS5 tablet into the console itself, and voids at least one warranty to prove it.
Using technology and expertise that (in our eyes) is indistinguishable from the dark arts, DIY Perks Frankenstein has created a redesigned, custom heatsink design, 3D printed plastic, and gorgeous OLED screen. A small PS5 motherboard. The process took several weeks and drew on the knowledge and skills he had acquired throughout his life. So unless you think you can become an S-rank solderer, you shouldn’t try this at home.
This is quite an amazing feat, and the form factor is very attractive. DIY Perks suggests that the reason there hasn’t been a product of this kind before is the question mark it poses. Will it sell? What is a fair price, and are there readers who will support it? These are questions that we hope Sony will find answers to in the future, but in the meantime, we can always dream.
