The concept is taken a little further.
Integrating a computer with a keyboard is not a new idea.and the most old Experts have already dealt with this format, both at Apple, but also with the famous Amstrad CPC 464/6128, the Amiga 500 and Atari ST, the Sinclair ZX80/81, and many other models. More recently, Raspberry has also taken this path with the Pi 400, although we do not know if it was successful (I have not seen much in the wild). Nevertheless, the concept is interesting, and it continues to occupy the minds of engineers from a few companies, including the Chinese manufacturer Ling-Long.
A complete computer in your pocket, including keyboard!
This Ling-Long Keyboard can fit into your pocket, according to the manufacturer. (You need a very large pocket to accommodate the Amstrad CPC 6128 memory.) This is how it was presented, reminiscent of Steve Jobs' legendary words about the iPod and MacBook Air. The device not only offers a full keyboard (without the numeric keypad), but also AMD Ryzen 7 8840U Chipset It features 8 cores and 16 threads with a max frequency of 5.1 GHz and an integrated Radeon 780M GPU. Everything is actively cooled and supported by 16 to 32 GB of RAM and 512 GB to 1 TB of SSD storage.
The keyboard/PC can be folded to a very compact size of 15 x 10 cm. (It looks very thick, but the size is not specified) Weighing only 800 grams on the scale. one of the halves
It houses a 16,000mAh motherboard and other batteries that provide up to 10 hours of battery life (6 hours of video playback).
To the right of the space bar, You can see a small trackpad, which allows you to just connect the display before using the device. (It remains to be seen how much comfort this small surface provides.)
The device has a USB-A port, a USB-C 4.0 port, and a USB-C 3.2 port, all of which come with a 100W charger. Ling-Long's keyboard computer will initially be marketed in China, It is priced at 4,699 yuan for 16GB ROM and 512GB SSD and 5,699 yuan for 32GB RAM and 1TB storage, which is roughly 596 and 723 euros at the time of writing.
