Nex Computer's laptop shells separate display, keyboard, and battery from processing, letting a smartphone with desktop mode act as the computer. The company states this cuts cost relative to a full laptop and reduces electronic waste because the shell can be upgraded without replacing processors.
The current NexDock pairs a 14-inch fully laminated 1920x1200 touch screen, backlit keyboard, multi-touch trackpad, and 38 Wh battery with a $229 starting price, while NexDock Wireless adds Bluetooth and Miracast connections. The NexPhone extends the approach by combining Android, Debian Linux, and Windows 11 on Arm in one handset.
Nex Computer sells directly to consumers through its own online store, with the NexDock line starting at $229 and taxes and duties included for supported destinations. The NexPhone uses a reservation model with a $199 refundable deposit toward a device its FAQ prices at $549 plus shipping and taxes.
The NexPhone homepage simultaneously advertises a reservation price of $599, a figure its FAQ itemization does not match. Current NexDock pages state no model-specific prices beyond the $229 line floor.
