Pocket-size AMD Ryzen PC in a folding keyboard hits Kickstarter — Hawk Point portable has up to 10 hours of battery life

Lunar, a 2-in-1 foldable mini keyboard that squeezes in a full computer inside its tiny package, is now available to support on Kickstarter. This tiny PC launched earlier this year, in July, and the Kickstarter version is virtually unchanged from what was shown at that time.

The machine has an AMD Ryzen 8840U processor paired to either a 16GB RAM/512GB SSD or 32GB/1TB SSD combination. Aside from that, it features Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, plus a single USB Type-A (USB 3.0) and two USB Type-C (USB 3.2 and USB4) ports. For a portability boost, the mini keyboard PC has a built-in 59.2Wh (16,000mAh) battery, allowing you to use it for up to 8 to 10 hours for light office work away from an outlet.

This is an interesting form factor as this device provides you with the full Windows experience practically anywhere. And since we’re surrounded by displays and screens, Lunar decided to forego a built-in display that will consume a lot of power and make the device unnecessarily large. Instead, you can connect an external monitor with its own power, thus allowing you to extend the battery life of the mini keyboard PC. It also offers wireless display streaming to various devices, like iPhones, iPads, or even Apple computers, so you don’t need to bring a different screen just to use it.

Alternatively, you can pair the Lunar with AR glasses, like the XReal Air 2, if you want to do some computing in a discreet, low-profile manner. But if you like to get the most immersion even if you’re in a coffee shop, it will also work with VR headsets, like the Apple Vision Pro.
