"The PlayStation 5 wasn't designed to be portable. But that isn't stopping a YouTuber from making it mobile. By stripping down an old console, modifying it with custom components, and enclosing it in a 3D-printed, briefcase-like shell complete with its own display, the DIYer has turned the PS5 into an all-in-one device that you can carry around almost as easily as a laptop."
"The primary reason the PS5 is not all that mobile is its weight, which is largely due to its oversized cooling system that has to work restlessly to manage 200W of power consumption by the console. This is nearly thrice the power consumption of the PS4 and managing it isn't as easy. The DIYer has been able to downsize the heat sink and custom-build a fan to manage the power in a portable unit, which you can carry around."
Japanese modder Tera converted a PlayStation 5 into a portable, briefcase-style all-in-one with a built-in 15.6-inch display. The build uses the original PS5 motherboard with only slight modifications to determine the final dimensions. The oversized cooling system was reduced by attaching a new heatsink and adding a custom 3D-printed fan to handle the console's roughly 200W power draw. The finished unit measures 357 × 224 × 53 mm and weighs 2.8 kg, representing about a 60% reduction in weight and size. The project preserves core hardware while reconfiguring thermal and enclosure components for mobility, and a detailed video documents the process.
