Bentobook is a wooden laptop that can be ordered pre-assembled or 3D-printed at home. It will be shipping in the Spring 2020.
Each Bentobook is completely customizeable. Up to 4 add-ons can be inserted into the back, and 1 snap-on can be magnetically attached to the top.
The earth can't wait for more sustainable products, and neither can we.
Each Bentobook is 3D-printed using a recycled cedar wood filament. We then sand down every Bentobook by hand, and finish it with an eco-friendly wood stain.
Throw away less. When your computer gets old, you shouldn't have to replace the whole thing. Upgrade your Bentobook's battery when it no longers holds a charge. Or its CPU when it starts to feel sluggish.
You won't need a genius to repair this computer. Bentobook is repairable down to the individual key by even the least tech-saavy person. An illustrated repair manual is included and affordable spare parts are available. Of course, we can always repair it for you.
When you finally decide to toss your Bentobook - rest assured it can be recycled.
Swap between Chromium, Linux, and Windows 10.
Powered by almost identical software as a Chromebook, the default Simple CPU add-on is powerful enough for day-to-day activities on the web, streaming, and word processing.
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and Raspian, oh my! Pick your favorite open-source operating system and have confidence Bentobook will run it.
Need an upgrade? Run Windows 10 with the Advanced CPU add-on and upgrade to full X86 laptop competitive with the average laptop out there.
Using a double-slot architecture, additional cooling, and powered by a Intel M8 Processor, the Advanced CPU add-on has 8gb and a 64gb SSD and is as powerful as a MacBook.
Order Bentobook
Speakers should sing. Keyboards should clack.
Bentobook has a desktop-grade keyboard. We use Cherry-MX switches, a stainless-steel backplate, and a 60% hot-swappable PCB for an unforgettable typing experience that can be completely customized.
The sound of each keyboard is customizeable. The audible typewriter version comes as the default - with a silent version also available.
A dedicated amplifier and dual woofers let Bentobook sing and blast your favorite songs louder than almost any laptop out there. Finished in Guildford of Maine basket-weave speaker cloth.
Connect via bluetooth to your Bentobook's speaker system, and let your other device handle the playlist and double as your boombox.
Every month we design new add-ons and snap-ons. So can you.
