A keyboard PC or keyboard computer is a PC contained inside a keyboard. With no PC tower needed, keyboard computers are said to have a “zero footprint”. They fit on any desktop that has room for a standard keyboard, usually support dual monitors, and have multiple I/O ports. Keyboard PCs are among the smallest desktop computers available on the market. Their compact design and light weight make them ideal for any enterprise desktop use. Keyboard computers have another key advantage: any monitor can be made into a fully functioning PC system by merely connecting a keyboard computer to it. That’s a major cost advantage when implementing an enterprise-wide upgrade because new monitors don’t have be purchased; the old ones can be used.
Advantages:
Keyboard computers have components such as memory, drives, and processors that are a smaller form factor - similar to what notebook computers use. Because keyboard computers are small, they require less power and generate less heat. Not only do they save space, but they save energy and money over the long run.
The small size of these keyboard computers enables them to be placed in limited spaces. If you have room for a keyboard on your desk, you have room for a keyboard computer. Some keyboard PCs also support dual monitors, so converting over to a keyboard PC means you just replace an ordinary keyboard with the computer; much less disruption to the enterprise user. Although they have a small form factor, keyboard PCs have the same processing power and performance of a standard desktop computer system and can handle any enterprise software application. Keyboard computers are cost-effective because they are easier to deploy – in a matter of minutes – easing the burden on the IT staff.
