Apple’s Magic Keyboard may one day become more magical, and possibly a little thicker, as the company is working on ways to include an entire Mac within it.
Steve Jobs made a big of thing of how the little Mac mini was a BYODKM, or Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse, device. Now it seems Apple is looking at cutting that down even further, to when all you need to bring is your own display.

“Computer in an input device,” is a newly-granted patent that proposes an entire Mac that’s the size of a keyboard. And would also be a keyboard.
Reminiscent of countless 1980s computers like the Apple II, Vic 20, and the Sinclair QL, a computer made following this patent would look like it was just a keyboard. It would be bigger or taller than a current Apple Magic Keyboard, but perhaps not by all that much.
