Forget chunky laptops and bulky desktops. Chinese PC maker Ling-Long has unveiled an innovative design that crams a powerful computer into a foldable keyboard.
This isn’t your typical mini PC that needs to be plugged in to work – it’s completely self-contained, requiring only a monitor and mouse to become a fully functional PC.
Imagine this: a keyboard that unfolds to reveal a hidden AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor, making it powerful enough to tackle everyday tasks. Incredibly portable, Ling-Long even demonstrated how the entire device can fit snugly in your pocket, ready to be used on the go.
Instead of simply copying Apple’s existing mini PC and laptop designs, Ling-Long has a bolder vision. They aim to redefine “compact and powerful” for mini PCs. Their design ditches the separate units of a Macbook and Mac mini, opting for a unique “unibody” approach.
This means the entire system is one piece, with a built-in mechanism that transforms it from a keyboard to a mini PC. In simpler terms, it’s a mini PC hidden within a foldable keyboard, or perhaps even a powerful keyboard that unfolds into a mini PC – whichever way you see it.
Specs and Price
This keyboard-shaped device boasts a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor with 8 cores, reaching speeds of up to 5.1 GHz. It also packs 16 threads for smooth multitasking and a built-in Radeon 780M graphics card with 12 compute units. Despite its compact size, Ling-Long promises no performance compromises thanks to AMD’s Hawk Point APU technology.
When it comes to memory and storage, you have options. Choose between 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM and 512 GB or 1 TB of storage to fit your needs. The 60 Wh battery (equivalent to 16,000 mAh) keeps you powered for up to 10 hours on light tasks, 6 hours for watching videos, and around 4 hours for gaming. A 100W fast charger is included, but you can conveniently top it up with a power bank just like your phone.
This keyboard PC even features a built-in “Mini-Touch” touchpad for easy navigation, making it a truly all-in-one solution for on-the-go computing.
The starting price is $646 with 16 GB RAM with 512 GB storage, but the top-tier memory combo with 32 GB/1 TB configuration goes up to $784.
