The portable PS4 weighs 6.4 kg and measures 390 mm long x 280 mm wide x 110 mm high. The PS5 weighs 4.5 kg and the size is 390 mm x 260 mm x 104 mm, so the feeling of size is similar.
I have received several of the same questions, so I will answer them.

PS4 is packed in the attache case, but the APU is cooled by a genuine Intel cooler, and two exhaust fans are installed, so exhaust heat is 'no problem'.
Q. Is the exhaust heat okay?

Also, since all the parts inside the attache case are fixed, it seems that there is no problem even if you hold the case in your hand or receive a slight impact.

The portable PS4 has a built-in battery in the attache case, but it seems that full-scale playable time has not been measured yet. In addition, at the stage of temporary assembly, it was possible to play the game for about 1 hour with the built-in battery. The installed battery is a 20000mAh lipo battery.
Q. How long does the battery last?

@DxTerraria explained that the reason for creating the portable PS4 was 'because I was addicted to battery work', and the period required for remodeling was 'about 10 months'.
Did you get hooked on battery-powered work lately?

At first I was trying to make a circuit that runs PS4 with a battery, but as I proceeded with various things, I got absorbed in it, and finally I bought a case and incorporated it w
By the way, the production period is from February to December, so it's about 10 months.
Since the acrylic cover part of the portable PS4 is fixed with a magnet, it seems that you can replace the disc to put inside by removing this. It seems that the disk drive was originally planned to be mounted on the side of the attache case, but since there was not enough space, it was decided to adopt the current method of removing the acrylic cover.
The acrylic cover on top is just fixed with a magnet, so you can remove this cover and replace the disc!

Originally I was planning to insert the disc from the side, but if I insert the disc drive as it is, there will be insufficient space, so I removed all the exterior and it looks like this w
A detailed explanation movie of the portable PS4 will be posted on @ DxTerraria's official YouTube channel in the future.
