⌨️ Apple Wants To Squeeze A Computer Into Something… Again
Apple fans may soon get a new device for the dead peripherals collection
Apple has a long history of squeezing computers into various things. Although doing it with a monitor was quite great, laptops and smartphones were even more successful.
Never give up after first try they say. While an Apple mouse is already taken to play dead, the only other peripheral where a Mac can be put appears to be a keyboard or a cable.
Since the latter one was forced to be a USB-C at least in Europe, only keyboard is viable.
According to AppleInsider at least that’s what a new patent states.
In fact what is a keyboard, some buttons with a lot of empty space. A keyboar is in fact a laptop without a display.
Nicely designed compartments can fit a processor, memory, flash memory and a little bit of that MacOS magic:
The looks can be familiar. In fact there’s already a laptop without a monitor. It’s called Raspberry PI 400:
It is a quite affordable displayless laptop with all the ports you’d need, 4 GB of RAM and dedicated operating system.
Microsoft also has something to say with Surface devices where the system is…
