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 🤷‍♂️

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.

Dell did that recently…

links to HP

:-)

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.

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?

I think there's a pi in a keyboard as well.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Nice. I should have assumed it had been done more recently.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@piefed.world 8 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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.

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.
