SHANGHAI — As manufacturers turn almost every device into something smart and connected, Beijing-based AC000 has come up with a smart keyboard that actually makes sense — a self-contained computer that can run either Windows or Android operating systems.
While keyboard peripherals have been all the rage for modern tablet devices, oneBoard looks to flip the relationship. It’s a computer contained entirely within the keyboard, and all a user will need to do is plug it into a screen.
oneBoard has three versions available: one for family, one for office and one for gaming. The gaming model is the oneBoard Pro+, an 86-key layout using Cherry MX Plum mechanical keys with either an ARM or an Intel Atom processor.
