The Commodore name has made another return, and it has come in a somewhat similar form as an older Commodore 64. Of course, this latest version is more powerful, and also alot less interesting than its older countrepart. But maybe I am saying that because I still have a soft spot in my heart for the Commodore 64 as it was one of my favorite and first real computing machines as a kid. I can also say that this will most likely not keep anyone from buying or at least considering the Eee Keyboard either.
Anyway, the latest PC in the Commodore lineup is a full computer in a keyboard. Feature wise it is sporting an Intel Core 2 Duo or Core Quad processor, optical drive, built-in card reader and touchpad. Additionally it will come with a full range of ports including USB, ethernet, VGA, DVI and serial. Yup it is expected to have a serial port, do people still use those?
Anyway, as of now the Commodore is not yet available, nor is there an expected price. That said, it has a Commodore name, but its not quite the same. Maybe someone can build an keyboard style PC in the original 64. That I would buy.
