If I am over here, in the corner, I have vivid memories of my very first computer, the Commodore 64. A computer built into a keyboard is today's launch. Everything you need to do computer-like things is included. You still need a monitor, but there are a few solutions for sorting that out, including a VGA orHDMI output, so you can use almost any TV or computer display into a display solution.
For the target audience, the computer doesn't need big muscles. This is not a gaming rig or a video editing computer. Making computing accessible, positioning itself to help make online learning, job hunting and accessing health information available, and being a functional computer with the smallest possible environmental impact are all part of the plan for the AbacusBasic.
The entire computer is roughly the same size as a computer keyboard. In an impressive feat of miniaturization, the makers squeezed everything you need for a computer into a keyboard and put a price tag on it. The computer has a quad-core processor with up to 4 gigabytes of memory and 512 gigabytes of storage, a built-in speaker, and a track pad. The computer has Windows 10 pre-installed and supports displays with up to 4k resolution. It's not bad at all.
In an email to me, the co- founder of Pentaform, Joon Sang Lee, wrote that the AbacusBasic considers the planet to be one of its main beneficiaries. Creating more computers isn't the answer in a world where 4.2 billion people don't have access to computers It's creating better, eco-conscious ones.
The company says that the AbacusBasic has been designed from the ground up for its end-of-life journey and that it is designed to last for years with daily use. The clever design makes it easy to separate the machine into its outer and inner parts. The inner hardware can be recycled or used again, while the outer housing can be bio-degraded.
The computer has a single-board architecture and is powered by a quad-core x86 processor. It is powered by a custom Intel Atom x5-Z8350Cherry TrailQuad-core processor with a 1.84 GHzTurbo boost. The memory is supplied by an LPDDR3 64-bit dual channel. It has an eMMC module for storage that can be used in a variety of ways.
There are a number of ports on the computer, including an HDMI port, a 3.5mm jack with mic support, ausb 3.0 port, and a gigabit ethernet port. There is a power delivery port, a radio module that supports wi-fi and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Pre-orders are available from the company's website.
