They're also coming out with new Amigas. And new Vic computers too.

I don't know if I want to pay $700 dollars for something like this, but it's a neat idea.

It's a PC inside a C64 look-a-like keyboard. It runs a C64 emulator on top of Linux or Windows.

It is designed to be used as a full Windows PC.

Right, with the only benefit being the emulator and (if you really cash it) a blue-ray player.

I think it's just eye-appeal. It's sexy, but can it cook?

I think I will stick to my existing Commodore 64 and emulators.

**Tails** · 04-07-2011, 09:51 AM

Bagel and Guru will buy the Amiga right?

Designed to run Windows? I kind of hoped Commadore would come back with a new operating system of their own, not just make it a regular PC with an emulator - we can download them for free. I think stick to an original C64 if this is not much more than a PC in disguise. It's good that Comadore are making computers again though and it looks cool though I'll give you that.

Never mind Bagel and Guru, I'm tempted by the Amiga's! Need to save up a bit of cash first though...

They are basically [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbooks]Netbook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] without monitors in really cool but expensive cases.

Netbooks are slow, cheap, small laptops.
