One core.
Every mode.

Uqab is a hybrid console built like good hardware should be: the Core carries the silicon, the Wing turns it into a handheld, and the Nest turns it into a desktop console. When faster chips arrive, you swap one module — not the whole machine.

Why modular

Three design principles, stated up front the way a datasheet states its operating conditions.

P-01 · ECONOMICS

Upgrade the chip, keep the rest

Screens, batteries, and controls outlast processors by years. With Uqab you keep the high-quality display, controller, and dock you paid for, and swap only the Core when a new generation arrives.

P-02 · ATTENTION

Boots into your games

A dedicated device with a tailored OS that starts directly into your library in seconds. No feeds, no notifications, no doomscrolling — a console that respects your time instead of hijacking it.

P-03 · THERMALS

Quiet, uncompromised power

Latest-generation silicon paired with solid-state active cooling for whisper-quiet operation — targeting 60+ FPS at 1080p on high settings, with minimal upscaling required.

UQAB-001 · SEC 02

The system

Three modules. One edge connector. Designed for longevity, repairability, and cost-effective upgrades across generations.

Core

U1 · COMPUTE
Uqab Core module, isometric render

The swappable brain: processor, RAM, storage, and wireless on one slab. Upgradable across generations through a high-speed PCIe edge connector.

Wing

A1 · HANDHELD
Uqab Core docked into the Wing handheld's rear bay

The handheld body: 8″ high-refresh display, a large battery, hall-effect controls, and adult-sized grips for long, comfortable sessions.

Nest

A2 · DOCK

The desktop body: a docking station with full I/O, advanced cooling that unlocks the processor's full performance, and a real graphics-card slot for 4K gaming.

The lab

Kawn Electro is a solo engineering lab dedicated to modular, repairable, long-lasting hardware. Every design decision prioritises longevity and interoperability — we reject planned obsolescence in favour of devices that owners can upgrade, repair, and reconfigure over time.

Based in Saudi Arabia, the lab is committed to open-ecosystem design. Whether the project is consumer electronics or smart-home devices, the goal stays the same: hardware that respects its owner's intelligence and investment.
