We are building a computer for every kid.
SmileyTech is a startup from Skopje, Macedonia. SmileyOS, our operating system for kids, turns a $20 used computer into a learning computer. SBOOK is the new laptop we are designing for it, for $200 to $300. The first version reaches stores in 2027.
Live 3D. Drag to turn the laptop.
What we are building
A learning computer every family can afford.
A new computer costs $500 to $1,000, and memory chips keep getting more expensive. We go the other way: a system small enough for the computers people already have, and a new laptop at a price a family can pay.
- $20An old computer is enoughSmileyOS runs with 256 MB of memory and starts from a 100 MB USB stick. Nothing to install and nothing to break.
- $200 to $300SBOOK, brand newOur own laptop with SmileyOS built in, designed so that every family can afford a new computer for their kids.
- Parents decideControlled internet and AISmileyOS works offline. The internet and the AI helper are on only when a parent or a teacher allows it.
SmileyOS
An operating system for kids that starts from a USB stick, on a computer that is 10 or 20 years old. 20 apps and games, a classroom mode and parental controls. No ads and no tracking.
