- Not to be confused with computer keyboard.
A
keyboard computer is a computer which contains all of the regular components of a
personal computer, except for a screen, in the same housing as the keyboard. The power supply is typically external and connects to the computer via an
adapter cable. The motherboard is specially designed to fit inside, and the device is larger than most standard keyboards. Additional peripheral components such as a
monitor are connected to the computer via external
ports. Usually no or only a minimum of storage devices is built in.
