Thumbs up I like it

Great laptop idea!!! This could be a feature for future laptop editions from various manufacturers. Hmmm maybe you should patent this.

Talking Security nightmare

Oh, I'd love to see the look on TSA's faces when you try to explain this modded laptop to them! Good luck getting that through security easily.

If you find you need to mod a laptop like this maybe you should just buy a tablet PC and use the software keyboard.
If your SATA cable is too short you might just want to buy a longer cable. Unless of course it is some cable with special connectors at the end.
I felt that this episode was just doing things for the sake of doing them and not producing anything new or more functional.

"its a laptop with an adjustable screen"

They probably wouldnt even notice it unless you were using it infront of them

Being a best buy employee who works in the computer section, i couldn't help but notice Ben got a pre-setup model, with the antivirus there on the side.

You made someone's day a little better, and got his managers to yell at him a LITTLE bit less. good on ya for that.

...now i wonder if you got the warranty...
