Got to read the list of claims in the patent. It's got a single USB Type C port, a built in touchpad, some sort of additional capacitive touch controls, an internal fan with two vents, and an internal power supply. I think that means it has a battery inside as well since you can't plug Type C directly into the wall without an external power supply. Way more than just a regular keyboard running some sort of software on the microcontroller. I guess this seems like an interesting idea. It's like a headless laptop which could be good if you only ever want to use this at a desk with a Type C monitor and maybe a docking station. Maybe good for hybrid work situations where you've got a home desk to work at but also can hop on a hot desk at the office. The downside is that you can't work at the coffeeshop or anywhere else but at a desk with a monitor. Maybe there could be a way to output video to an ipad when not at your desk but now you've got to carry that around. It would be cheaper than a normal laptop since no screen but at what cost? The thicker case and active cooling could allow for discrete GPUs alongside a max spec M1.
