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.

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.

MODE A — HANDHELD: CORE SEATS IN THE WING'S REAR BAY · 8″ OLED · 80 Wh+
Three design principles, stated up front the way a datasheet states its operating conditions.
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.
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.
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.
Three modules. One edge connector. Designed for longevity, repairability, and cost-effective upgrades across generations.

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

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

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.
Targets for the first production revision. Subject to change as prototyping continues.

Built in the open. Photos from the bench as the Core comes together.
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.
