Home Consoles such as the PS4 or Xbox One are made for playing them "at Home" right? Well, I bet there are at least a few people who have already asked themselves several times: "Why can not I play Red Dead Redemption 2 while sitting on the train?" Sadly, the answer was mostly "You can not" before, due to several technical problems. Sony had some good ideas with their PlayStation Vita to play "AAA Game Titles" on the but lacked of actually those "AAA Game Titles" and due to expensive accessories you needed to get most of the Console. And playing on the Nintendo Switch is not satisfying for everyone. Gaming Notebooks for several Thousand Dollars or you read a book while getting to work or school by train. But the People behind the "GameBook" had bothered oneself about this problematic question by starting Kickstarter-Campaign to introduce their newest invention to people like you who asked the same question from time to time. And the cool thing about this Campaign is, you will not need to disassemble your PS4 bit by bit to create your own "Custom PS4 Notebook" only to get the PS4 Hardware fitting inside the Notebook Case. Just use your regular PS4 and you are already on the go. How convenient is that?
The "GameBook" will come in two sizes, the smaller one with an 18.4 "inch screen and the larger one with 23.8" inches.
Turn your gaming console into a laptop
Your console has the power – the GameBook provides everything else! Till now carrying your Playstation 4 or Xbox One was a real hazzle.
This ends now! The GameBook is convenient, portable and lightweight. It´s robustness makes it a charm to just grab it and take it wherever you go.
In fact, you now can utilize your console a lot more, since you now can play when you have time – not just when you are at home.
That's why we created the GameBook - to remove those restrictions and give you the freedom of using your beloved Playstation 4 or Xbox One anytime you want.
So, as mentioned above. You can just use your regular PS4 without any disassembly needed like in various other Projects which came out everytime whenever a new Console was released. And while those Projects were always unique Versions of a "Portable Home Console", this Campaign makes things a lot of easier for the mass market by just grabbing your console together with the case while inside and you are up to go. And the fact that this Device is even "future-proof" by planing the support for upcoming Consoles shows how many details this Team worked out for keeping things as simple as possible. You will only need to buy this Device once while your Consoles keeps getting updated. And there is no Problem when you will be find some time indeed at home. Just use the included HDMI-OUT port and you can enjoy your Games at home as usual as before without taking the Console back out of the Case and without plugging it back to the TV. But how cool would it be even when you are playing online against others worldwide while you are sitting inside a Cafe by enjoying your morning routine before going to work? Your opponent at the end of beyond would never believe that you just "killed his Character while drinking some coffee outside at the park".
