Sure, we’ve got quite a few laptops kicking around the Engadget HQ, but we’d chuck them all in a heartbeat for a shot at this Atari 1500XL custom-built laptop from German modder Beetle.

Ben Heck might’ve done it first, but he’s got some catch up to do on the aesthetics. Once Beetle gets an EV-DO card modded in there, our liveblogging experience will never be the same. There’s video after the break.
