Barely the size of a Mac mini, the Lunar is a 2-in-1 Foldable Keyboard that packs an entire PC into its compact design. Think of it as a laptop’s spiritual sibling – designed to fit anywhere and be carried wherever you go. All you really need is a display, be it a monitor, an iPad, or even those newfangled carry-anywhere AR glasses.
Sometimes, innovation surprises you not with flashy features, but with a simplicity that redefines an experience. The Lunar mini PC is exactly that—a folding keyboard that, when unfolded, reveals the heart of a powerful AMD Ryzen-powered computer. I’ve been following the trends in portable computing for years, and rarely does a device manage to balance performance, design, and practicality as seamlessly as this. It’s easy to overlook, especially if you’re used to thinking of PCs as large, cumbersome machines, but the Lunar mini PC changes that perception the moment you hold it.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor inside might sound like overkill for something this small, but it’s not just about raw power. Think about how we work today: jumping from a coffee shop to a co-working space, sometimes connecting to external monitors, sometimes working straight from a tablet or even AR glasses. Lunar’s decision to skip a built-in screen in favor of external display options is more of a design statement than a compromise. Why drain battery life on an extra screen when you can wirelessly stream to a device you already carry, or plug into a larger display for more serious tasks? It’s an approach that resonates with anyone tired of carrying excess tech that never quite fits their routine.
Sure, it’s portable, but how does it feel? The Lunar PC’s keyboard is surprisingly satisfying, especially given its folding nature. It’s designed to feel like a proper typing experience, not the cramped, flimsy experience you get from so many portable keyboards. Folded down, it weighs just 800 grams, and its slim profile (6.1 x 4.3 x 1.1 inches) means it can easily be slipped into a backpack or messenger bag. When unfolded, the keyboard stretches to nearly 30 cm, offering a comfortable layout even for extended typing sessions, with 1.2mm scissor switches that offer a fair amount of travel. With up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB SSD, and nearly 10 hours of battery life on a full charge, you could easily use the mini-PC for everything from gaming to editing photos and videos – something you wouldn’t be able to do on, say, an Android tablet that’s just as portable.
Surprisingly, the foldable keyboard packs more port variety than your average MacBook Air or Chromebook. It’s equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, ensuring you’re getting the latest in wireless technology. You’ve also got the flexibility of a USB 3.0 Type-A, a USB 3.2 Type-C, and a USB4 port, which means you can connect pretty much anything you need, whether it’s external storage, a monitor, or even a full docking station. With a 16,000mAh battery inside, it’s designed to get you through a full day of light work without being tethered to a wall. This kind of flexibility in a mini PC is rare, especially when most of us are constantly juggling devices and chargers.
The appeal of Lunar extends to its flexibility—if you need a screen, it’ll connect to virtually any display you already own, and for something more immersive, AR and VR headsets like the XReal Air 2 or Apple Vision Pro are compatible. This makes it particularly appealing for creatives or those who need to switch between work and entertainment modes seamlessly. It’s not limited to individual use either. The Lunar can create a hotspot to share its connectivity with other devices, making it a great solution for team projects or collaborative work away from the office.
As someone who’s always on the lookout for tech that balances design and functionality with a creative approach, the Lunar 2-in-1 is exciting. Currently, it’s live on Kickstarter with a starting price of $579 for the base model, which includes 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage (that’s about as much as my gaming laptop for half the price and half the size). Shipping is expected to start in January 2025, with a GaN charger included with each Lunar mini-PC for easy charging. Whether you’re a designer, a writer, or just someone tired of carrying too many gadgets, the Lunar 2-in-1 feels like the kind of device that could simplify your setup without sacrificing performance. And honestly, isn’t that the dream? A full PC in your pocket, ready to work wherever you are.
