"They all come with shitty rubber dome keyboards. They're not something you would enjoy typing on for an extended period of time. So Rabbit decided to build its own device. For inspiration, Lyu and company looked to an unlikely source: the Sony Vaio P."
"Rabbit began working on Project Cyberdeck after the company's CEO, Jesse Lyu, saw how much his software engineers were using Claude Code. Lyu thought a small form factor PC, like the netbooks that were popular in the late aughts, with a command line interface would be ideal for on-the-go vibe coding."
"With Project Cyberdeck, Rabbit is aiming for a device that costs about $500, and hopefully avoids a similar fate. I saw a few early renders of Project Cyberdeck, which Rabbit isn't ready to share publicly yet. Imagine a cross between the Rabbit R1, Vaio P and the original Nintendo DS."
Rabbit is creating Project Cyberdeck, a small form factor PC designed specifically for vibe coding and on-the-go programming. The project originated when CEO Jesse Lyu observed his engineers frequently using Claude Code and recognized the need for a portable device with a command line interface and quality keyboard. Dissatisfied with existing low-cost PCs that feature poor rubber dome keyboards, Rabbit decided to build its own device. The company drew inspiration from the Sony Vaio P netbook from 2009-2010, which was lightweight but expensive. Project Cyberdeck aims to deliver a similar compact form factor at approximately $500, combining elements of the Rabbit R1, Vaio P, and Nintendo DS design aesthetics.
