‘One Windows Tablet. Three Modes’: This 611g ingenious modular x86 device lets you swap between a keyboard, cooling stand, and tablet without migrating files
Khadas Mind Go switches between tablet, laptop, and desktop configurations A detachable keyboard increases battery capacity from 18Wh to 53Wh The cooling stand increases processor power from 12W to 30W Khadas has introduced the Mind Go, a computer running the Windows operating system which changes between tablet, laptop and desktop configurations through detachable hardware modules. The central idea is that users retain the same computing components, applications and documents while changing how the computer is assembled. Weighing 611g and measuring 6. 1mm at its thinnest point, the fanless touchscreen computer can operate independently or connect to accessories. One computer with three working configurations In tablet configuration, Mind Go functions as an 11. 6-inch touchscreen computer, with an LCD panel offering 2800 × 2000 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The display reaches 500 nits of brightness and covers 100% of the sRGB colour gamut, while supporting both portrait and landscape orientations. For laptop use, a magnetic keyboard module adds 79 keys, a full-area trackpad and a separate 35Wh battery to the computer, which increases the computer’s total battery capacity from 18Wh to 53Wh. With the keyboard attached, Khadas claims the device can play videos for up to 12 hours, which is decent for a computer designed with portability and aesthetics in mind. The keyboard also includes white backlighting with three brightness settings, 1. 3mm key travel and a leather-textured cover over its aluminium build. Desktop operation requires the Mind Go Stand, which provides active cooling and raises the processor power limit from 12W to as much as 30W…
