MOBILAP

Transform Your Smartphone into a Powerful Laptop: Affordable, Portable, and Sustainable Computing

Overview: MOBILAP is a hardware kit that transforms smartphones into fully functional laptops, leveraging the power of modern smartphones to provide a lighter, more affordable alternative to traditional laptops.

Problem Addressed: With the rising costs of laptops and a significant number of students lacking access to one, MOBILAP targets the need for a cost-effective computing solution. Smartphones are as powerful as some laptops but are limited by their interface and screen size.

Unique Selling Points:

Affordability: MOBILAP costs about 70% less than a standard laptop, making it accessible to students and digital nomads.
Portability: It’s approximately 50% lighter than an average laptop and has a longer battery life, catering to users on the go.
Compatibility: Works with Android and iOS devices, allowing a plug-and-play setup without requiring extensive configurations.
Technology: The kit includes an ARM Cortex-A53-based board, Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band WiFi, USB ports, and interfaces with smartphone processors for computing tasks. It also incorporates display adaptation, turning smartphones into laptops without needing additional CPUs or memory.

Target Market:

Students and Digital Nomads: Aimed at tech-savvy individuals and young adults who need a portable, powerful, and affordable device for work or study.
Global and Local Markets: Reaching early adopters worldwide, with specific appeal to the Turkish market due to high laptop prices.
Sustainability Focus: By repurposing smartphones, MOBILAP contributes to green goals by reducing electronic waste and making use of existing hardware capabilities.
