Here comes a portable computing device, the Evertop, whose greatest claim to fame is that it has a massive battery life, which is counted in thousands of hours. That makes for a huge increment over the usual hours of battery life generally associated with most modern laptop devices. The stupendous battery life can be directly attributed to the presence of a massive 10,000 mAh battery that the device has been fitted with.
Another reason Evertop is so frugal on battery power is that it comes with a 5.83-inch E Ink display. The e-paper display, which has a resolution of 648 x 480 pixels, is capable of a fast refresh rate of 1.5 seconds and a partial refresh rate of 300ms. E Ink display only draws power when the display content changes and can hold on to an image with almost zero power drawn.
This ensures the battery lasts thousands of hours before requiring a recharge. Yet another factor contributing to the huge battery life is the integrated solar charger. This helps the battery to juice up just about anywhere without the need to plug in to the mains. So, you have a computing device that can go on almost forever; in theory, at least.
So far, so good, but there is a huge catch with the device: the Evertop cannot run modern apps. Rather, it can only run Minix, DOS, and Windows 3.0 at most. This is for the simple reason that the underlying hardware resembles computers that date back to the 1980s. More specifically, as Developer ericjenott pointed out, Evertop has been built to replicate the functionality of an IBM XT computer, which comes with an 80186 processor and 1MB of RAM, though it comes with an ESP32 microcontroller in reality.
Other features of the Evertop include a microSD card reader that houses the OS. The microSD card also serves as the standard storage system of the device. The entire keyboard unit is detachable and can be removed and placed in an upright position for a more comfortable typing experience. The solar panel too, can be tilted for more effective exposure to the sun and maximum charging effect.
Ports that the device comes with include those for the mouse and keyboard. There is also an RS-232 serial port, TTL serial port, USB port, and an Ethernet port. It supports Wi-Fi and LoRa radio. You can have complete details of the Evertop device from the GitHub page. Interestingly, there is also mention of a mini Evertop device having more compact dimensions but lacking a keyboard and solar panel.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
