You could really use a portable computer, but you’re not ready to feed your tower PC rig to the scrap metal dudes? No problem, you can try combining both into a more compact design. No, I’m not hinting at a mini-pc. I’m actually referring to your keyboard.

Yeah, something like a bulkier keyboard which can house an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU with all its features and performance at your fingertips, literally (remember it’s a keyboard). This is the ZPC-GX31 from Cybernet, a true innovation that packs so much power, performance and compatibility inside a normal size keyboard, according to the makers. I say deep enough to hide your cat in there. Highlights for the supported technologies include Dual Display capabilities, 4GB of DDR2/667MHz RAM, gigabit LAN and DVI interface. All you need is a separate monitor and you are good to go.

Take a look at the detailed specs:
