European computer company Metavisio will be offering what it is calling the
world’s first web3 laptop with built-in cold storage crypto wallet along with
other features—but it's yet to have a name. The company plans to to
release three tiers of the laptop, the company said, all serving slightly
different functions.
Metavisio added laptop users will be rewarded with a future token airdrop.
The laptops, created by Metavisio’s daughter company Thomson Computing, are
yet to have their specifications nailed down. All that has been confirmed is
that it will have a “ secure enclave chipset ,” a security measure that Apple
has adopted .
As the specs are still yet to be confirmed, the company’s predicted price
range is quite broad. The laptops will start at €499 ($523) and run all the
way up to €2,000 ($2,100). On top of that, this range accounts for three
different laptops; one suited for education, another for gaming, and a final
one for “everyday” use.

With details still to be confirmed, including the laptop’s name, Thomson is
struggling to put an exact date on the Web3 laptop’s release. It confirmed to
Decrypt that its proprietary operating system should be completed by Q1 2025,
which would mark the start of development for the laptop’s prototype.
Cold storage wallets are considered safer than hot wallets, like MetaMask or
Phantom, as they reduce the risk of being hacked. That’s because the private
keys required to authorize transactions are stored offline. Ledger is the most
popular hardware solution that comes in the form of an easily transportable
USB stick.
Metavisio believes your laptop being your cold wallet is the next step. As
such the laptop will have a cold wallet built into it that will support

more to be added in the future.
“The Web3 laptop is designed for a future where you truly own your digital
experience,” Stephan Français, Founder & CEO of Metavisio and Thomson,
told Decrypt . “By seamlessly unifying Web3 tools, we’re laying the foundation
to empower the next billion users.”
The laptop’s operating system known as “Web3 OS” will look to optimize
crypto-native experiences such as dApp integration, the aforementioned cold
wallet, and reward users with tokens for specific tasks—akin to the
play-to-airdrop mechanic that swept the industry this year.
It was confirmed that Metavisio will be launching a token and that users
looking to receive tokens will have to complete a know-your-customer (KYC)
process. Decrypt did not receive a response when asking what blockchain• Информационные технологии » Информационно-коммуникационные технологии » Информационные технологии и телекоммуникации » Базы данных » Публичная база транзакций » Блокчейн

will use or when the token will be rolled out.
