Join the waitlist
UQAB is a modular, hybrid console built to grow with the player: 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 Linux 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 through a high-speed, rugged 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.

Kawn Electro is an 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.
