Cozy desk setups have become a competitive sport. Tiny CRTs, retro keyboards, and beige plastic everywhere, usually looking very cute but doing very little beyond collecting dust and likes. Most of that gear is either pure decor or pure utility, rarely both. MiniToo leans into the 80s PC silhouette hard, complete with a CRT-style screen and chunky keyboard buttons, but it tries to earn its footprint by being a Bluetooth speaker, alarm clock, white noise machine, and pixel art display all at once.

Let's be real: most of us have a complicated relationship with our alarm clocks. When I say most of us, I mean me. It's my least favorite necessary thing even though it's just basically on my phone . I get jolted awake with aggressive beeps, sometimes it glows too brightly in the dark, and honestly, they're not exactly objects we want to look at or hear first thing in the morning.
