Metavisio’s Bold Vision for the First Web3 Laptop

According to Decrypt, Metavisio is working on the “world’s first Web3 laptop.” The device itself doesn’t exist yet—the Web3 OS software is slated for completion in Q1 2025, with hardware development to follow. But since the bold headline is already here, let’s dig into what it might actually mean.

What exactly is a "Web3 laptop"? I recall the arrival of the first Chromebooks, and those truly embodied the concept of a "Web 2.0 laptop." Chromebooks represented a core Web 2.0 principle: everything you do on a computer can be done through a web browser. The earliest Chromebooks were essentially just browsers—and it turned out that was enough for most everyday tasks. It was revolutionary!

So, what Web3 principles could define a “Web3 laptop”? So far, only two have been mentioned:

  1. Built-in hardware wallet. A questionable choice, in my opinion. Laptops quickly become outdated, and while a standalone hardware wallet can easily connect to a new device, a Web3 laptop risks locking users into aging hardware. And what happens if the laptop malfunctions or stops working?
  2. Related token. This is even more puzzling. Who needs a token for a laptop, and why? Hopefully, this doesn’t boil down to creating the "world’s first laptop token" instead of a truly groundbreaking device.

That said, if the token gains traction, you’ll likely find it available for exchange on rabbit.io alongside thousands of other coins and tokens, all at the best rates!
