I would think putting the computer in the keyboard would make more sense. Lots more room, and you don’t move it around so much.
But I guess that was already done with the Commodore 64 🤷♂️
I think there's a pi in a keyboard as well.
Nice. I should have assumed it had been done more recently.
Yeah, it's an official release from rasberry pi: Pi400, Pi500 and Pi500+ are all keyboards with pi inside as an all-in-one. Bit like an Amiga 500 or Amiga 1200. Comes with a nice manual too for to help people learn a little programming.
it's not a commercial product, it's just a youtuber that had a Samsung s21 flashed with postmarketos and rearranged the board inside the mouse for the lols
Dell did that recently but I'd argue that's also very dumb. Just get a laptop. Or a mini PC. There's no logical reason to cram it into the keyboard (or especially the mouse). I'm sure it's a terrible keyboard as well.
:-)
On a more serious/genuine note, thank you for sharing this. I did not know a recent/modern PC in this form factor still existed. I hope there are more options to choose from, than HP.
I know Raspberry Pi also came in a similar form factor.
Yeah HP haha
It's just meaningless marketing nonsense.
... which I won't support with my wallet.
okay, well, this is basically every electronic device in 2026, so...you're not going to buy any of them, right?
Correct.
Lots of those exist. My ergodox supports like 32 layers of keys.
Yeah, although the big benefit of a mouse is it's super portable, and it needs one output to the screen and that's it. I suppose the current limitation is that the screen needs USB-C output for power?
But it's a great idea tbh! I'd prefer a linux device rather than android but other than that, great.
