At Mecha, we are sensitive about our impact to the environment, that is why our sustainability goals have been at the centre of every design decision we have made.
From easy repairability, standard connectors to open-source software, the Comet is our statement to the world that with right intentions, sustainable change is possible.
We started with a simple idea - to build a computer that is versatile and ready for real-world applications. Our journey across last 3 years has helped shaped the Comet you see today.
