Summary

  • The Evertop is a pocket-sized, 1980s IBM XT PC emulator that runs on a 20,000mAh battery and contains a small solar panel to extend its use infinitely while under ideal conditions.
  • Created by German hacker Eric Jenott, the Evertop is fitted with a 5.83-inch e-ink screen, which, as with the rest of the machine, draws almost no power when in passive mode.
  • It can emulate an 80286 processor, running DOS, Windows 3.0, and even some variations of Unix such as MINIX.
  • As well as the screen, the unit comes with a PS2 keyboard,Gender Creative Kids Outer Space Night Light, and a mouse, although these are all connected via hardware switches that can be turned off when not in use to conserve energy.
  • Additionally, the Evertop supports memory card storage, RTC, composite video and audio out, a UART serial port, and IR sending.
  • The unit is constructed like a laptop, with the display on a hinge that can be flipped up and down.
