European IT company Metavisio will offer what it claims to be the world’s first web3 laptop with a built-in cold storage crypto wallet along with other features, although it remains unnamed. The company reportedly plans to launch three levels of the laptop, all with slightly different features.
Metavisio added that users of the laptop will be rewarded with a future airdrop of tokens.
The laptops, created by the subsidiary company Thomson Computing, do not yet have their specifications defined. All that has been confirmed is that it will have a “secure enclave chipset”, a security measure that Apple has adopted.
As the specifications are yet to be confirmed, the price range anticipated by the company is quite wide. The laptops will start at €499 ($523) and go up to €2,000 ($2,100). In addition, this range includes three different laptops; one suitable for education, another for gaming, and a last one for “everyday” use.

With details yet to be confirmed, including the name of the laptop, Thomson is having difficulty setting an exact date for the launch of the Web3 laptop. However, it informed Decrypt that its proprietary operating system should be completed by the first quarter of 2025, which would mark the start of development of the laptop’s prototype.
Cold storage wallets are considered more secure than hot wallets, such as MetaMask or Phantom, as they reduce the risk of being hacked. This is because the private keys needed to authorize transactions are stored offline. Ledger is the most popular hardware solution that comes in the form of an easily transportable USB stick.
Metavisio believes that your laptop being your cold wallet is the next step in improving the Cryptocurrency experience. As such, the laptop will have an integrated cold wallet that will support Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Bitcoin, XRP, and Bittensor networks, with more to be added in the future.
“The Web3 notebook is designed for a future where you truly own your digital experience,” Stephan Français, Founder and CEO of Metavisio and Thomson, told Decrypt. “By seamlessly unifying Web3 tools, we are laying the foundation to empower the next billion users.”
The laptop’s operating system known as “Web3 OS” will seek to optimize native cryptocurrency experiences such as the integration of dApps, the aforementioned cold wallet, and reward users with tokens for specific tasks, similar to the play-to-airdrop mechanism that swept in the industry this year.
It was confirmed that Metavisio will launch a token and that users seeking to receive tokens will need to complete a know-your-customer (KYC) process. Decrypt did not receive a response when asking which Blockchain it will use or when the token will be implemented.
