Welcome to Rhombus Tech
Our Crowd-Funding Campaign is currently LIVE.
Why has Rhombus Tech been created?
If you have heard of Phonebloks you will know that there are at least hundreds of thousands of people who are deeply concerned about the environmental impact of our throw-away culture in electronics. And whilst Phoneblocks is starting with mobile phones, Rhombus Tech is starting with everything else.

How is Rhombus Tech helping reduce e-waste?
With a comprehensive strategy that covers the entire product development and delivery cycle. We have to do this: a paradigm shift in how we use our mass-volume electronics goods demands a complete rethink from start to finish! And that involves every one of us.

What products are in the pipeline?
The goals are huge: we have to start somewhere, so are beginning with
the first

Open Modular Architecture Standard,
EOMA68

-
A credit-card-sized CPU Card with an
Allwinner A20 processor
A very basic and tiny PC called the
Micro-Desktop
A Laptop with an 15 inch screen that is 3D printed: Libre 15.6in Laptop
These three products will be available in our Crowd-Funding Campaign which is currently LIVE. To find out about more possible products, feel free to contribute to and review the community ideas page.
