Commodore Makes Comeback With Keyboard PC

[FriendlyFire]

That just looks like a clumsy EEE Keyboard with no screen. Too bad they didn't catch up with the times.

I think they should have build in a projector. Then it would be a real all in one PC.

Well, I am a Commodore fanboy. Owned the C64, Amiga 500 and the Amiga 2000 (with the video toaster, 50Mhz accelerator card and other neat stuff. Man, I wish they made something innovative again. Back then those machines were top of the line. They were being used when Babylon 5 was on the air. Now, they have some half-ass attempt at making a machine, that looks identical to another machine. Ugh..

It reminds me a bit of the TI-99/4a I used to have.

no doubt, integrated GMA 3100? Not even a 4500? How much harder would cranking this sucker up with some kind of daughterboard have been? If anyone remembers like I do, the C64 was great for kids playing games, something the GMA 3100 is not meant to do.

I had a CBM VIC-20 when they first came out. I think it had something like 2K of memory which i upgraded to 12K or something. No floppy or harddisk. I had a cassette player/recorder modified for use as a storage device. And no mouse. I used a joystick from an atari 2600.

Er... the Vic20 came with 3K of ram.... okay, I'm pretty much sure of that. And they sold 8k RAM expanders for it.

My 1986 360k floppy drive cost me $280 (before tax), I was a kid. Its bigger than my keyboard. yesterday, I went to a store and bought a 1TB drive for $75 off the shelf. 🙁

But can it play Crysis?

Try to get your facts straight guys. This product is a ZPC-GX31 sold by Cybernet and released two years ago in March 2008. The website itself doesn't even look real (one of their employees is a dog): http://www.commodoreusa.net/about.html

You can find the original product here: http://www.cybernetman.com/en/products/zero-footprint-pc/zpc-gx31.cfm

The real Commodore International site can be found here: http://www.commodorecorp.com/

I can't believe so many people are falling for this hoax.

it's just nostalgic gimmick to appeal to the poeple who actually used a C64 back in the day..
