When you find and buy such a keyboard, you’ll certainly wonder why you didn’t get it before. And the company will definitely not become a pioneer in this segment in the eighties, the now-iconic ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 were available in this form factor in 2009 ASUS implemented something similar with the Eee Keyboard, and today Raspberry Pi 400 uses this format.No matter how great your overall Mac experience is, you can always improve it, and finding the best keyboard that suits your needs perfectly is an excellent way to start. As always in such cases, no information about Apple’s plans to release such a device yet. Some non-limiting examples of thermally conductive materials are copper, aluminum, brass, steel, and bronze.Īlso, the presentation of the patent application took place in August 2020 and just now the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published the document. The base, however, can be in production at least partially of a material that distributes or spreads heat substantially through the mass of the base (i.e., thermally conductive), thereby more evenly spreading or distributing heat generated by the processing unit over a larger surface area of the base to more effectively regulate operating temperatures of the computing device. The processing unit can generate heat while operating, which can negatively impact the performance of the processing unit. Thus, the heat from the processor is effectively dissipated throughout the device.

The keyboard case with the built-in computer has a base with high thermal conductivity and the computing unit is in direct contact with it. Therefore, the patent application specifically talks about the cooling system.

It is noteworthy that with this project, Apple is not going to sacrifice performance for portability.
