The tray is really funny, but i doubt it'll find many customers

Nice, I've always wanted my desktop PC to be coupled to the keyboard.

Nice design, but the website is vague. What about the actual tech specs (not simply GB of ram and SSD space) or a picture of the "user-replaceable" internals? How about a picture of the port layout? About the workbench operating system, the information is also surprisingly light. Am I missing context here that others have that make this website sufficient?

I'm glad PC manufacturers are taking snack drawers seriously. A shot of the IO would be nice and is the computer in the keyboard or in the snack box?

Looks cute, but unsure what it does and why they made it and how i can use for what... Site looks good but it might mean c100 have no substance, thus at least had to make the site and their gadget pretty.

I have one of the units from the first run where 96GB of RAM was offered. Personally speaking I was buying it primarily for the design aesthetic (an industrial design partner from Pentagram was involved), but I've come to enjoy the Workbench OS UI features and associated shortcuts; I use it as a secondary work machine for various data science applications. I can attest to the general build quality which so far seems high to me.

Who came up with this and then designed it around a non-standard keyboard layout... Jail is the only answer.

We're truly living through the cash grab era. $1400 + a yearly subscription for an extremely vague product that will likely lose support in 2-5 years.

why does it come with attached storage unit for my calipers?

Why does it have a frunk?

> The case is CNC milled from a solid block of aluminium What a waste of material and machining time!

Usually the ads on hacker news are accompanied by a press release or a technical writeup so that I at least learn something new.

For a second, I thought that top part was like a tmux screen where I could run a multiplexer with agents and ... geez I'm tired, so much AI ugh. (Worst part is that I think I'd have fun with something like that)

I smell Amiga, especially if it is "designed to run Workbench."

So a toolbox attached with a keyboard that has opposite layout, some new shortcuts and an OS that can be reproduced easily. So what's the point? One can go for design and hardware but is this really something that stands it out in 2026? I was wondering what I would put in the toolbox, maybe earphones, mobile stand, stationary?

I found the UI really interesting. Nice to see a group really trying something new. This really feels a lot like the raw experimentation of computer types and styles in the 80s. https://customer-i8ks9tgi5lkllj0i.cloudflarestream.com/c60aa...

After seeing the price and the build quality, there's no more excuses for developers to suggest that they can't afford a Mac or Windows or Framework computer after buying this. This should be the standard quality for Linux machines.

Good look. What are the advantages over MAC or cloud VMs? If it is $500~$1000 it could be a good gift. And is the current size a little big? Could it be put into a bag?
