Hybrid For a Reason
We call it Hybrid because it offers the best of both worlds: top-tier privacy and security, without sacrificing convenience. Our Hybrid Laptops replace the standard operating systems that often compromise your privacy. Instead, they run on PopOS , a more secure and private operating system known for its unparalleled protection. With support for essential and advanced software, you get the convenience of everyday use without compromising your security. The Hybrid Laptop is designed to be a secure, reliable, and high-performance device for those who value both privacy and productivity.
Privacy-Focused
No intrusive trackers and unnecessary data collection.
Robust Security
Encrypted operating system, secure hardware elements, and protection against cyber threats.
Freedom from Proprietary + Big Tech
Built on Linux (most probably PopOS flavour, but will depend on hardware compatibilities); fully free, ethical and open-source operating systems that are not based on Windows or Android or iOS.
Secure Linux OS
It’s FOSS! ‘Free and open-source’ software built with reliable Linux operating system. PopOS with full disk encryption. PopOS is one of the most popular, stable and easy-to-use Linux distributions. Made to support your privacy.
The Hybrid Laptop won’t indiscriminately harvest your data to turn a profit. It won’t ensnare you within a controlling ecosystem.
Modern, Complete, and Easy to Use
With countless free software options out there, we’ve got something for everyone. From education and gaming to graphics, internet, office tasks, programming, science, sound, and video, we’ve got you covered.
Plus, Linux keeps up with the latest tech advances, giving you smooth, high-quality videos, perfect animations, and better battery life for your computers and mobile devices.
Hand-made (Custom built)
Each Hybrid Laptop is a bespoke, ‘made to measure’ item, built to suit individual needs.. We load the best apps & software, setup and configure the OS, and apply extra security & privacy configurations to boot. To add, we offer our fool-proof support should you need a hand. Power ON – Ready to go.
Each Hybrid Laptop is customized to individual needs, with a focus on quality over speed.
