This Tiny Retro PC Combines Alarm Clock, Speaker, and Pixel Canvas in One

This tiny retro PC blends nostalgic design with modern features as an alarm clock, Bluetooth speaker, and pixel art display all in one compact device.

A Retro Desk Companion That Does More Than Just Look Cute

I’ve always been drawn to cozy desk setups that feel like a warm hug from the ‘80s. You know, those tiny CRT monitors, chunky keyboards, and beige plastic gadgets that look adorable but usually just end up gathering dust? It’s like the “look” is there, but utility is nowhere to be found. Enter MiniToo Retro PC Style Pixel Bluetooth Speaker & Alarm Clock Desktop Computer—a delightful little device that doesn’t just lean into the classic 80s PC vibe; it earns its place on your desk by being far more than just a pretty face.

Palm-sized retro PC style speaker and alarm clock

MiniToo wears its nostalgia boldly, sporting a CRT-style screen with a thick bezel and chunky keyboard buttons that feel like they belong in an 8-bit office. Measuring about 3.2 by 2.4 by 2.9 inches, and weighing just over 200 grams, it’s perfectly sized for your desk without hogging space.

Pixelated Perfection on a Tiny Screen

What really caught my eye is MiniToo’s 1.77-inch TFT screen that’s like a pixel art playground. It ships loaded with more than seventy clock faces, from those classic DOS blue screens and chunky pixel fonts to colorful analog dials and even animated scenes. You can already imagine the fun switching between these pixel-perfect faces throughout the day.

The accompanying app lets you get creative, designing your own pixel faces, animations, and custom text that you can sync to the device with a simple tap. Plus, it even doubles as a tiny digital photo frame, cycling through your favorite photos in pixel-perfect glory. Honestly, seeing your vacation snapshots rendered in chunky pixels adds a playful twist that makes those memories pop in a whole new way.

Big Sound in a Tiny Package

Now, don’t expect a concert hall experience from MiniToo’s speaker, but for a bedside or desk companion, it hits the sweet spot. It houses a 5-watt full-range driver with enhanced bass reflex tailored for near-field listening, delivering clear sound with a nice punch. Bluetooth 5.3 handles wireless streaming seamlessly.

What’s extra cool is that it doesn’t stop at music. It offers white noise and twelve distinct wake-up sounds, letting you customize your alarm and relaxation experience. Imagine waking up to soothing ambient sounds from your retro PC instead of a harsh buzzer—that’s a whole vibe!

More Than Just a Speaker—A Full-Featured Desk Buddy

MiniToo impresses with built-in pixel tools like a Pomodoro timer, reminders, and even simple games you can play directly on the device. Whether you need a focus booster during work or a reliable alarm clock at night, it’s got your back.

While the app is necessary for setting up your custom pixel faces and sounds, once configured, MiniToo runs independently. This means you can leave your phone aside and enjoy its charms without distraction.
