- This foldable keyboard PC is powered by Ryzen 7 and runs Windows 11
- Compact enough to fit in your jacket or pants pocket, yet capable of handling multi-monitor tasks
- Sturdy aluminum construction conceals a fully-functional portable desktop inside
Envisioning a pocket-sized Windows PC encased in a folding keyboard may seem like a fantasy, but a new mini device from China is making that vision a reality.
Crafted by the innovative team at Linglong, this folding Ryzen-powered mini PC can slide right into your jacket pocket or a roomy trouser pocket, then unfurl to reveal a full-sized keyboard while delivering the complete Windows 11 Pro experience.
Weighing in at less than 800g and approximately the size of a quarter-sheet of A4 paper when folded, this device is perfect for users who crave portability without compromising on performance.
Impressive Port Array
Upon unfolding, the mini PC showcases a complete QWERTY keyboard featuring physical switches, constructed from CNC-machined aluminum for enhanced durability.
A touchpad or ThinkPad-style pointing device is notably absent, which means you’ll need a separate mouse. However, the mechanical key switches, rated for an impressive 100,000 keystrokes, indicate a design aimed at professionals who require reliability.
At its core lies an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and storage options of either 512GB or 1TB.
Graphics are managed by integrated RDNA3-based Radeon 780M, while a robust 16,000mAh battery delivers up to 10 hours of usage on a single charge.
Despite its streamlined design, the device boasts a commendable selection of ports: USB4, USB-C 3.2, and USB-A 3.2, complemented by Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and an HDMI-compatible USB display option.
This mini PC supports multiple displays and can be docked to function as a mobile workstation, gaming hub, or multimedia center.
A built-in monitoring tool keeps track of CPU and GPU performance, temperatures, and other critical statistics in real time.
Currently exclusive to the Chinese market (a source of frustration for many), the Linglong mini PC evokes memories of the Orange Pi 800 keyboard computer.
While its limited availability and lack of official support in Western markets may hinder its reach, this creative reinterpretation of portable computing is certainly noteworthy, and one can only hope it finds a broader audience or inspires similar innovations globally.
