For just $100 this even has a GPIO!

Patently Apple shows that Apple is working on an all-new computer concept.

It envisions a Magic Keyboard designed with a full computer inside that can 
plug into any display.

This new concept seems to rival a desktop computer and a laptop. Users can 
transport the keyboard without the need to carry a monitor, tower, or mouse. It 
is understandable that the keyboard may contain a trackpad to avoid the need to 
carry a mouse while traveling.

It is essentially a portable desktop computer in a magic keyboard format. 
Similar to the Mac mini, users bring their own display to the setup. This would 
be a standalone device that wouldn’t even require any cords or cables.

In some of the patent examples, the device includes an enclosure with a 
thermally conductive base. It may also include a processing unit in thermal 
communication with the base. Apple will manufacture the keyboard in a way that 
spreads the heat throughout its body.

This patent was first filed in August 2020 and published this week by the U.S. 
Patent Office.
