- Bapaco is a portable Windows PC disguised as a mechanical keyboard

- Crowdfunding on Kickstarter, it is powered by a 12th generation Intel i5 with up to 32 GB of RAM
Bapaco (try to say it three times quickly – it is strangely satisfactory) is a laptop that looks like nothing else on the market. At first glance, it looks like a compact mechanical keyboard, but it is in fact packing an entire Windows PC in its thin setting.
The device stands out from traditional laptops or compact PCs because instead of being a shell, it is a flat -shaped flat device with a 12.3 -inch ultra -time touch screen that bows to 90 degrees. Its aspect ratio 16: 6 (1920×720) reminds me of the Ultrabook Satellite U845W largely mocked by Toshiba de Toshiba from 2012, which presented a display of 21: 9 intended for a visualization of screens. It is also similar in the design of the Maxfree K3, a mechanical keyboard compact with 82 keys which has a 13 -inch integrated touch screen.
Currently, crowdfunding on Kickstarter, the Bapaco is designed to operate both as an autonomous Windows 11 computer and also as an external keyboard and a display for Windows, Mac and Android devices.
Magnificent mechanical keyboard
Under the hood, Bapaco works on a 12th generation Intel Core i5 processor with 10 cores and 12 threads, associated with up to 32 GB of RAM DDR4. Storage options include an SSD M.2 NVME PCIe X4 and an SSD M.2 SATA 3.0. The nice RGB mechanical keyboard with 68 RGB keys is fully customizable, with hot switches and several lighting modes. However, there is no touchpad.
The device also includes two 3W, Bluetooth 5.2 speakers and a range of ports, including USB 3.0, USB 2.0, type-C DP 1.4 and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Its 5000mah battery offers up to six hours of video reading, long enough for a The brutalist And Paddington in Peru Double-Bill.
If you want a bapaco, there are even more than two weeks to do its Kickstarter campaign. At the time of writing this document, he received $ 27,248 in promises, well above his tiny funding objective of $ 642. For a super pledge of $ 624 (27% reduction on the PDSF of $ 856), you can get a model without RAM or SSD. If you want to have a full functional bapaco, you can promise an additional $ 79 for 16 GB of RAM and an SSD of 512 GB, or $ 249 for 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB SSD.
The creators behind the aircraft say they intend to start production in March 2025, in order to start shipping in May. As always, it is worth noting that crowdfunding has risks. Although projects like Bapaco can be exciting, support for a campaign is not the same as the purchase of a finished product. Delays, design changes or even cancellations may occur, so be notified.
