Rabbit's Cyberdeck reimagines the netbook for vibe coding

Engadget’s exclusive preview reveals Rabbit’s Project Cyberdeck, a modern, ultra‑compact Linux PC aimed at “vibe coding.” Inspired by the Sony Vaio P, the device targets a $500 price point, features a 40% mechanical keyboard with a hot‑swappable PCB, and a small OLED display, with four USB‑C ports for external monitors and accessories. It will run Linux with RabbitOS tooling and allow user customization, including third‑party software installation.
