- Bapaco is a PC of portable Windows disguised with mechanical keyboard
- Its 12.3 -inch ultrawide touch screen inclines 90 degrees and can function as a second screen
- Crowdfunding in Kickstarter, is driven by a 12th generation Intel i5 with up to 32 GB RAM
Bapaco (try to say it three times fast, is strangely satisfactory) is a laptop that is different from anything else in the market. At first glance, it looks like a compact mechanical keyboard, but in reality it includes an entire Windows PC in its thin frame.
The device stands out from traditional portable computers or compact PCs because, instead of being an clam, it is a flat plaque device with an ultra tactile screen of 12.3 inches that inclines up to 90 degrees. The unusual appearance ratio 16: 6 (1920×720) reminds me of the U845W of Toshiba of Toshiba of Toshiba of 2012, which presented a screen of 21: 9 aimed at visualization of wide screen films. It is also similar in design to the Maxfree K3, a compact 82 -key mechanical keyboard that has an integrated 13 -inch touch screen.
Currently, crowdfunding in Kickstarter, Bapaco is designed to function as an independent Windows 11 computer and also as an external keyboard and screen for Windows, Mac and Android devices.
Beautiful mechanical keyboard
Under the hood, Bapaco is executed in an Intel Core i5 processor of 12th generation with 10 cores and 12 threads, paired with up to 32 GB of RAM DDR4. The storage options include an SSD M.2 NVME PCIE X4 and a SSD M.2 SATA 3.0. The attractive mechanical background keyboard of 68 Key RGB is totally customizable, with hot adjustable switches and multiple lighting modes. However, there is no touch panel.
The device also includes 3W dual speakers, Bluetooth 5.2 and a range of ports, including USB 3.0, USB 2.0, type C DP 1.4 and a 3.5 mm headphone outlet. Its 5000 mAh battery provides up to six hours of video playback, enough for a The brutalist and Paddington in Peru double invoice.
If you want a bapaco, there are still more than two weeks to go in your Kickstarter campaign. At the time of writing, he has received $ 27,248 of promises, well above his small financing objective of $ 642. For a promise of early bird of $ 624 (27% discount on the MSRP of $ 856), he can obtain A model without RAM and without SSD. If you want to have a completely operational bapaco, you can promise additional $ 79 for 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD, or $ 249 for 32 GB of RAM and 2TB SSD.
The creators behind the device say they intend to start production in March 2025, with the aim of starting to send in May. As always, it is worth noting that crowdfunding comes with risks. While projects such as Bapaco can be exciting, supporting a campaign is not the same as buying a finished product. Delays, design changes or even cancellations can occur, so be careful.
