Pentaform Abacus Keyboard Computer

If you’re all about scaling products down and streamlining your tech line up, there is a Kickstarter project right now that you need to be aware of – especially if you’re in the marker for an affordable computer this year. The Abacus Keyboard Computer from the team at London based, Pentaform, is a fine example of something doing exactly what it says in the tin insomuch as this is a fully-functional computer contained all within an attractive keyboard.

The Pentaform Abacus Keyboard Computer on Kickstarter is available for the, frankly extraordinary, price of just £124 for the Basic Model or £168 for the Abacus Plus which comes with a few additional features. It comes pre-installed with Windows and works with any display that you have so it really is the ultimate in versatile performers that tech enthusiasts will love. Portable, made from recycled ABS and as efficient as a lightbulb, the Abacus is a real triple threat in our opinion here at The Coolector.



The Abacus Keyboard Computer from Pentaform is ready to use right out of the box and it will plug into any monitor or television to provide the ultimate in gaming or working experiences. Straightforward to use, portable as they come and with an impressive amount of tech going on under the hood, it’s not hard to see why this one is taking Kickstarter by storm with backers throwing their money at it in their droves.

Brilliantly designed to be a functional piece of equipment for all your daily computing needs, the Pentaform Abacus Keyboard Computer (from £124) allows you to browse the web, carry out work tasks, watch Netflix, Zoom, code and all the usual computer stuff. Into music? Abacus Basic is also MIDI Controller Compatible. All you need is a 18W or more PD power supply and your favourite display.  Pre installed with Windows 10 & compatible with Linux. Everyone’s a winner. Especially at the sub-£200 price point.

Infinite Connect allows the keyboard to slide on and off the computer module without the need for WIFI or bluetooth connections, allowing you to sit back on your sofa and use the keyboard without getting caught up in the wires. It is based off 2.4 GHz connectivity,  paired right out of the box and always stays connected to your Abacus Basic. When you need to charge the keyboard and trackpad, all you need is a USB power supply and a micro USB cable. Like what you see? Head on over to Kickstarter now.
