Major Modifications for Portability

I'm hoping what I'm planning is possible. I'm looking to strip and modify my PS4 to be much smaller, even smaller than the Playbook 4. Is therr any way I can do it?

I'm looking to start traveling around the world, and I'd like to have my PS4 with me from time to time, just cos it's got better processing power than the PS Vita, and also I have a $@$* ton of games in my e-library.

I'm hoping it's doable. If not, I'll just have to get a gaming laptop suitable to my needs. The thing is, I just wanna keep games away from my laptop and get that part sorted just for gaming.

Thanks very much in advance. Peace.✌

Hi!

Well, it won’t be easy, that’s one thing for sure. And you need some other components too.

As example: You need a different cooler. This will be difficult, as the smaller it is, the hotter it gets. (perhaps water cooled? But you still need a small radiator…) You need to think what to do with the PSU, you can take it out the housing, but make sure it won’t make contact with anything else!!

Those are just 2 things I mentioned, there are a lot of more components following (as example, hard drive, antennas…) I think it will be way easier to buy a gaming laptop, and will save you a lot of time and headaches!

Thank you very much for your kind advise and expertise on the matter Koppie. Was really hoping it was doable considering the amount of money I have invested, in so many games still in my e-library. I guess you're right. Better to just sell my account and make a new one based off PC (laptop) gaming. Thanks again buddy. Peace and stay safe! ✌
