Compal introduces recyclable modular laptop concept, Adapt X

Compal Electronics has introduced a new concept laptop called the Adapt X. This modular business laptop aims to help reduce electronic waste and extend the life of devices. The Adapt X comes in two sizes, 14-inch and 16-inch. It has Type-C interfaces and a functional HUB. Users can connect modular AI units to enhance the laptop's capabilities. The device also includes a detachable secondary display, which can be used flat for multitasking or raised for a larger workspace. One of the key features of the Adapt X is its modular design. Users can easily swap or upgrade individual components, which can save money and reduce the need to buy new devices frequently. The laptop's sleek design helped it win the iF Design Award for 2025. If fully developed, the Adapt X could lead to a recyclable and upgradable laptop. This would greatly minimize its environmental impact. The project suggests a future where laptops can evolve over time, adapting to the needs of their users.
