The Web3 revolution is set to expand beyond smartphones, as European tech company Metavisio unveils plans to launch the world’s first Web3 laptop. Developed by its subsidiary Thomson Computing, the laptop is designed to merge cutting-edge blockchain technology with everyday functionality, catering to students, gamers, and general users alike.

Crypto Cold Wallet Now In a Laptop

The laptop’s standout feature is its integrated cold storage wallet, housed within a secure enclave chipset. This ensures cryptocurrency private keys are stored offline, significantly enhancing security against hacks. It will initially support Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks, Bitcoin, XRP, and Bittensor, with plans for broader compatibility in the future.

Powered by a proprietary “Web3 OS”, the laptop aims to unify Web3 tools for a seamless user experience. The operating system is expected to be completed by Q1 2025, with prices ranging from €499 ($523) to €2,000 ($2,100). Metavisio has hinted at gamified elements, such as token rewards for completing tasks, though users will need to complete a KYC process to claim them.

“The Web3 laptop is designed for a future where you truly own your digital experience,” said Stephan Français, Founder & CEO of Metavisio and Thomson Computing. “By seamlessly unifying Web3 tools, we’re laying the foundation to empower the next billion users.”

Metavisio’s announcement follows a wave of Web3-enabled devices hitting the market.
