The new Orwl computer was built to protect your data. It's the size of the palm of your hand and is truly focused on your security.
It comes with multiple layers of security to stop even the most ardent hackers, according to the manufacturer.
Let's look at it from the beginning:
First of all, you need a password and a wireless key fob to turn on the computer.
When the processor is in sleep mode, the USB and HDMI ports also stop working whenever the wireless key fob moves out of range, preventing anyone with physical access to the computer from doing anything without the owner's knowledge.
And if that's not enough, the device will erase any data on the encrypted solid state drive (SSD) in the event of a security breach.
Orwl features a built-in mesh to protect the secure controller, and a motion sensor along with a pressure controller add extra security from physical access to the device.
It comes with secure boot technology and instant firmware updates. The motion sensor, in addition to locking the computer, is also there to prevent data loss from a hard drive shock.
The device uses open source hardware and software, so you know what's going on inside.
According to the company, the computer has a function for temperature monitoring and side channel protection, but it does not specify exactly how.
Orwl Features:
- Operating system: Qubes OS/Ubuntu/Windows
- Intel HD Graphics 515 300/1000MHz
- Up to 8GB RAM (1,600MHz)
- Up to 480GB self-encrypted Intel solid-state drive
- 802.11 n/ac wireless (up to 800 Mbps)
- Dual mode Bluetooth 2.1, BTLE4.2
- One HDMI 4k video output port
- Two USB-C outputs
However, the creators of Orwl who have thought of so many powerful attack methods do not promise that their system is impenetrable to known ransomware.
It costs from $1,699 and up, and the company will start shipping to interested parties from mid-August.
