Some mini-PCs are so small you can practically tuck them in your pocket, but here’s the catch: you still need a keyboard, mouse, and display. Otherwise, it is pretty much a dead weight. Enter Lunar—the one device that solves two-thirds of that problem by being both a mini-PC and a keyboard with a built-in trackpad.
That’s right, the Lunar (or Ling Long in China) is the world’s first 2-in-1 foldable keyboard and mini-PC, ready to tackle your workday or gaming sessions, no matter where you are.
Inside this compact marvel, you’ll find an AMD Ryzen7 8840 processor, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of SSD storage. In short, Lunar may be portable, but it’s no lightweight when it comes to power. Weighing just 800 grams, it’s perfect for business trips, gaming marathons, or pretending to work while on vacation.
Lunar comes loaded with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for seamless connectivity, while its 52.9 Wh battery can last 8-10 hours, so you’ll be in the clear whether you’re working hard or hardly working. Plus, the handy foldable design means you can stuff it in your bag without any awkward bulging.
With Lunar’s daisy-chaining magic, you can hook it up for triple-screen multitasking. It’s equipped with all the ports you’ll ever need—1 USB-A 3.0, 1 Type-C 3.2, and 1 Type-C 4.0. And with Offline Wi-Fi and Wireless Streaming features, you can even create your own portable hotspot and stream content like a pro.
If you’ve ever dreamed of having your entire office set up in your pocket, Lunar’s here to make it a reality. And yes, the keyboard itself feels fantastic, thanks to its scissor-switch keys, which ensure quiet, responsive typing—so you’ll sound like you’re typing up important emails even if you’re just editing your shopping list.
Now, if only it could handle your coffee orders too. It is relatively inexpensive too, starting at 4,499 Hong Kong dollars (about US$579) while it is on Kickstarter. But be reminded that this is from a very young startup and the concept of folding keyboard mini PC has not really been tested by other companies. Anyhoo, we will let you be your own judge on this.
