We cannot yet make any final statements about the battery life of the SHIFT13mi, as the battery consumption depends on several factors. The consumption is influenced by the final drivers, the selected operating system, but of course also by user-specific factors such as display brightness, apps used, connected devices, etc. We will be releasing more information about this in the coming weeks.

The SHIFT13mi has a 13.3 inch FullHD (1920x1080px) display with a format of 16:9. The display is easily exchangeable because the SHIFT13mi, like our SHIFTPHONES, is modular. This is primarily for easy repairs. The display will initially only be available in one version. In the future, we may implement an anti-reflective coating or a clear or matte display using various bulletproof glasses.

The SHIFT13mi has a HD front camera with a kill switch. A rear camera is not installed.

The tablet unit of the SHIFT13mi has four USB-C ports, two of which are Thunderbolt 4. The SHIFT13mi can be charged via each of the ports, but it is best to keep the Thunderbolt ports free for data transfer 😉

There are also four USB Type-C ports in the SHIFTkeys keyboard unit. But these are not Thunderbolt ports. Tablet and keyboard do not have USB-A ports. We are therefore currently developing a USB-C-A adapter, which can then be used to convert the Type-C port into a Type-A port. We are also working on a hub that will then provide HDMI, Displayport, USB Type-C and Type-A, among other things. Any other USB hub can also be used.

The SHIFT13mi does not have an integrated LAN connection, but can also be used via e.g. USB Type-C to Ethernet adapter. Wifi 6 and Bluetooth 5 are available as wireless connections.

The tablet also has a microSD card slot in the tablet unit, as well as two M.2 SSD slots, one of which is occupied by a 512 GB SSD on delivery and the second slot is used for memory expansion.

Headphones and headsets can be connected to the SHIFT13mi via the 3.5mm audio jack.

The SHIFT13mi does not have a SIM card slot for mobile data, you can simply use the hotspot, e.g. of your SHIFTPHONE 😉

The SHIFTkeys keyboard can be connected to the SHIFT13mi via radio, Bluetooth or USB.

The SHIFT13mi has two kill switches. One can be used to turn off the camera and microphone and the other to disable the fan.

Memory (RAM) and processor (CPU) are not interchangeable. In the tablet form factor, there is currently only the option of soldering the RAM and CPU permanently due to the design. However, by replacing the mainboard, we will be able to upgrade the main memory, for example.

This can be done individually with us. To upgrade, there will be the option of replacing the mainboard at a later point in time, as mentioned in the topic of main memory/processor. Due to the modularity of the SHIFT13mi, the subboards and other components can also be exchanged, especially for repair purposes. The SSDs are of course also interchangeable. In principle, you can always return all of our devices to us and upgrade to other models so that they can be used for as long as possible and everyone has the device they need.

The SHIFTpen is powered by a replaceable AAAA battery.

The first SHIFT13mi ships with Windows 10. According to the current state of knowledge, it is also suitable for Windows 11. We are also creating a ShiftOS based on Linux.

The SHIFT13mi is optimized for passive cooling. This means that it can be used normally without a fan and is therefore completely silent. The heat pipes built into the tablet and the selected housing materials ensure that the heat is quickly distributed and dissipated. A fan is still installed so that even more performance of the SHIFT13mi can be used. This can be activated with a switch to support the air circulation in the device and thus dissipate more heat.

When developing the SHIFT13mi, as with all our devices, we focus on modularity and, where possible, on fair production and raw material extraction. We make sure that fair raw materials are used and that conflict raw materials are either avoided or otherwise compensated. Both the people involved in production and nature are very important to us. We take our principle of “doing as much good as we can and doing as little damage as possible along the way” very seriously when developing and manufacturing new devices. Due to the modularity, individual parts can be separated according to type and reused sustainably. Like all our devices, the SHIFT13mi will also have a device deposit.
