We’ve seen many designers strive to merge disparate products so 2-in-1 combos aren’t all that unique. But, I’ve never seen a [computer lamp hybrid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pc-am03)—or the Minitopz as it is called.

The Minitopz was designed by Artopz and at first glance, looks like a super slick lamp of sorts. Below the surface, however, the Minitopz houses a quality computer (such as a dual core [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-mini-pc-am03) Atom N330 processor, 500GB hard drive, built-in [NVIDIA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcube-gaming-mini-pc) GeForce 9400M graphics, and more). As The Luxury Insider puts it, the Minitopz is the perfect solution when you don’t want a desktop to ruin your carefully decorated office.
