Recent Apple patent imagines the Magic Keyboard with a Mac built-in

26 February 2022
The portable desktop would only require you to hook up a monitor.

Sort by:

I see it more as a tablet with keyboard instead of screen :-)

      Raspberry pi 400 is the exactly same thing!

        The RasPi 400 already exists and it's cute

          Who remembers Sinclair ZX48, my first computer?

            Anonymous, 26 Feb 2022Exactly my thoughts. Most home computers up to and includin... moreI think you may mean 'up to and including the 90's', because the 16bit Amiga and Atari ST were still available into the late 90's...

              But this idea is old as hell.... No one do that really as such device would be really poor in terms of performances even for office work...

                I have better idea to patent, maybe they earn money patenting obvious ideas. How clever.

                  “computer in an input device” - just like Commodore Amiga back in the old days of the 80's 😁

                    Wasn't until pcs and the original mac did a computer unit and separate keyboard become much more common place.🤷‍♂️

                      This makes no sense. I don't understand how they gave this to Apple when it has been a thing for decades. It's not like Apple are the first to do this. Case in point, look up the commodore 64.

                      Government corruption at it's finest.

                        Just like the Raspberry Pi. Apple could actually make this work.
