About our pocket-sized revolution in portable computing

Mecha Comet is a handheld Linux computer built by 57 brilliant engineers who got tired of walled gardens. Four years of obsessive development. 50+ prototypes. One goal: technology that genuinely belongs to humans.

From emergency COVID solutions to the future of post-scarcity computing, we're building hardware that serves imagination, not corporate profits.

What People Get Wrong

Let's address the elephant(s) in the room with our hot takes.

The Myth

"Just another Raspberry Pi in a fancy case"

The Reality

Comet runs on a custom ARM SoC with 8GB RAM, dedicated security chip, and 40 GPIO pins. It's a purpose-built computer, not a hobby board.

The Myth

"Nobody needs a handheld Linux computer"

The Reality

27,000+ people disagree. From robotics students to field researchers, portable computing with real I/O is desperately needed.
