A YouTuber has created the first unofficial PS5 tablet, using components from the console to make a handheld system with an OLED screen and 4K visuals, surpassing the PlayStation Portal. The redesign of the PS5's internal components allowed for this creation, with the YouTuber overcoming challenges such as fitting cooling equipment into the smaller device. The homemade tablet enables playing PlayStation games on the go, and it's hoped that Sony may consider a similar official product in the future.
