The Abacus is an all-in-one PC incorporated into a keyboard. Underneath the keys is a complete computer, including USB ports, Ethernet port, HDMI and VGA output, built-in speaker, integrated trackpad, Intel Quadcore Processor, Wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and upto 4GB memory and 512GB storage. It comes pre-installed with Windows 10. It can be carried anywhere and connected to a monitor, TV or projector. Designed in collaboration with the Royal College of Art Design students, the Abacus’ internal components are reusable, and its outer body is designed out of a biodegradable polymer derived from waste corn starch, tapioca roots or sugarcane. When the device is discarded, the tech can be recycled, leaving the outer body to degrade into the soil along with its packaging made out of mushrooms!
The PC is as energy-efficient as an LED lightbulb and 63 per cent smaller than the average desktop PC, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of shipping, as well as freeing up more desk surface space.
