Pocket-size AMD Ryzen PC in a folding keyboard

The Hawk Point portable PC, designed as a pocket-sized device integrated into a foldable keyboard, has launched on Kickstarter. It features an AMD Ryzen 8840U processor and offers configurations with either 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD or 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. The device supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, and includes multiple USB ports. Its built-in 59.2Wh battery provides 8 to 10 hours of usage for light tasks. Notably, it lacks a built-in display, allowing users to connect to external monitors or stream to devices like iPhones and iPads, enhancing portability. The initial pricing for the device has increased significantly from its original announcement, with early bird prices set at $600 for the 16GB/512GB model and $770 for the 32GB/1TB model. The product aims to cater to niche markets, and there are hopes for future iterations powered by advanced processors. Pledging on Kickstarter is an investment in the product's success rather than a guaranteed purchase.
