The Pockit modular, handheld computer

... looks friggin' awesome. I want one.

I’m a sucker for modular computers, with swappable parts.

I’m an even bigger sucker for hand-held, pocket sized computers.

With that in mind, feast your eyes on this bad-mama-jama:

That, right there, is the Pockit. A modular, pocket computer concept that looks to have been in development (in one form or another) since 2019.

And. when I say modular, I mean crazy modular.

You can power it with a Raspberry Pi compute module — and swap out individual components that are magnetically attached to the base. The developer currently claims to have “80+” such modular “blocks” that each has different functionality. Keyboards, sliders, lights, buttons, cameras, secondary displays, sensors… the works.

When will this little beauty ship? No idea! There’s a spot on the website where you can add your email to an announcement mailing list. Other than that… there’s no ability to order (or pre-order) as yet.

To tide us all over, the developer put this video together — showcasing what the Pockit is currently capable of. And… I tell ya… it’s quite a lot. Ranging from whole-house sensors and automation… to hand-held computer or game console.

And, yeah, it runs Linux.

So rad.
