I'd love one, to bring back that nostalga, even though i still have my 2 originals, a dark brown and white model both with drives and tapes.. lol
kick ass..
I want one It sounds like a PC made for a hacker. Run Windows or Linux from within the C64 OS instead of dual boot is right up my alley. And to be able to play the old games like Bruce Lee and Kingdom Treasure. I still have a bunch of discs from my old Atari 600xl, I wonder if they will be compatable like in the old days when you could use games on both. The Vic 20 was released as well and an Amiga version is in the offing. Only downfall I can see is it runs Nvidia integrated graphics. I hope to see the AMD/ATI dual CPU/GPU die used on the Amiga. A 6370 mobile 1GBGDDR5 would make the sucker a heart attack machine. I can just imagine the fun you could have messing with people showing em how this ancient 1982 PC can run games just released last year
I couldnt find anything on site but it would be good to know if it supports the new ATI external dedicated GPU via USB.

Dude, lets hope for some multiplayer online.. lol. bruce lee style lol
I still have my original collection somewhere, over 5000-6000+ discs and scene stuff.. DJB and I used to both run in the australia c64 scene alot and did music and demo competitions at parties. was fun in the young days. heheh
I just wish they would bring out a new pc with onboard chips programmed to emulate the original so you can flick the switch rather than just software.
I have seen and heard some of the stuff you guys did back on the C64 days.

Looks cool but for the price I rather buy a new laptop _________________________________________________________
From that list of specs it looks like it doesnt support XGP, but at least they do have 512 dedicated DDR3 for the integrated Ion graphics. Ive never seen an Ion in action but from what I hear they are equivalent to a HD4250 so thats not too bad. And considering its only 600, I think its worth buying, even if it didnt look like a c64.
