Today a curious device that concept we remember those endearing microcomputers that came out in the 80s of last century and were integrated into a keyboard we present. The Acooo OneBoard PRO + renews that old concept with a mechanical keyboard and ARM RK3288 SoC as heart. The keyboard will also be able to use on your PC or Mac independently.
Integrating a machine in a keyboard is one of the old IT solutions market. Resumed here with OneBoard PRO +, an Android solution on a processor-based Rockchip RK3288 with with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage . A device that seeks to follow an ultra-compact solution.
Problem, it is obviously a QWERTY keyboard, but if this does not put you off this type of solution is obviously very compact since it is part of the keyboard you will use whatever happens in this type of solution information technology.
The OneBoard Pro+ has a big advantage, in addition to being a standalone solution that can connect directly to a screen, it also offers a traditional USB interface to connect to a desktop computer.
Thus it is possible to have a single post with 2 video inputs, two completely different machines. A classic PC on one side, an Android 4.4 device on the other .
A key to move from one system to another
The OneBoard Pro+ features an ARM RK3288, Cortex-A17 quad core Rockchip signed official whose operating frequency is 1.8 GHz. The SoC integrates a graphics chipset Mali T764. RAM climbs to 2 GB and 16 GB eMMC storage. The machine has a solution Wifi 802.11 b / g / n and Bluetooth 4.0 module.
The keyboard is promising since, according to dealers, it is built on Cherry MX Black solutions. Information that must be taken with a bit of hindsight, Cherry systems and excellent mechanical solutions are victims of massive fakes on the market right now with cheap copies otherwise less efficient in use and over time. The keys are backlit.
The body of the chassis seems to be aluminum and fairly extensive connectivity: Besides the system to connect to a PC, there is a SDHC card reader, USB 2.0 for Android, a USB 2.0 port for a mouse to be shared between the two machines, a power port, video output and a DVI input, and an output jack 3.5 mm on the side of the unit.
The whole measuring 33.2 cm wide by 17.8 inches deep and still good 4 inches thick . The assembly weighs 2.76 kg. Last detail, the machine is absolutely not given, the price asked for OneBoard Pro+ is 263 € each including postage on Banggood. A price that is justified by the benefits, used chip, the Cherry MX Black system and the aluminum body…
