Default A1200 Laptop mod ! if you can call it a laptop...
Spotted this on Ebay yesterday - looks pretty cool!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Amiga-1200-NB-Blizzard-mk-IV-50mhz-Fpu_W0QQitemZ250374476726QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Def aultDomain_0?hash=item250374476726&_trksid=p3286.c 0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1690|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|24 0%3A1318

Dunno if the price is right tho - I won't be buying it!

It's been listed before. It looks pretty cool until you look at the finer details (like the hinges).

fine details or not...that there is ALOT of work to successfully complete and if you price up all the goodies he's got in there the price is not that way off IMHO

"The screen is simply 15 inch notebook screen"...



That looks like a cheapo LCD telly hacked down rather than a notebook screen. I realise it's not important, but it doesn't look like a notebook screen to my eyes.

It also looks like it might be widescreen, but that might be me looking at the wrong angle.

If I had enough money, I'd buy this. I'd love a luggable Amiga I could take to school (I'm sure there's a socket I could plug it into in the social area) and use, just to weird out this guy that keeps bringing a recent laptop in and playing lame FPSen on it... In fact, I wish I had a Minimig and a portable TV ._.

Ive been planning a minimig laptop build for ages but i cant afford 190$ plus S&H for a minimig along with an lcd batteries trackball etc what i might do is build a laptop using a 3.5" formfactor PC motherboard and run UAE on it instead because i can get a 400mhz x86 compatible 3.5" motherboard for about 60$
