YouTuber DIY Perks Creates Portable PlayStation 5 'Tablet'

Despite its large size and need for an external power supply, the device demonstrates the potential for high-performance gaming on the go.

YouTuber DIY Perks has created a portable PlayStation 5 'tablet' using the console's smaller motherboard, a custom cooling solution, and a 4K OLED screen salvaged from a damaged Alienware gaming laptop.
The device, while significantly smaller than the original PS5 console, is still quite large and requires an external power supply due to its high power consumption.
Despite its size, the 'tablet' is portable enough to fit into a backpack and functions perfectly on a countertop, potentially increasing the number of places where users can enjoy high-end games.
The creation process involved significant technical expertise, including 3D printing, copper piping for heat distribution, and nickel electroplating for the main copper CPU block.
Although the device is currently just a hobbyist project, its creation demonstrates the potential for a truly portable, high-performance gaming console.
