Commodore USA working on C64-resembling ION 2-based all-in-one PC



Commodore USA has vowed to entice mature (read old) gamers with a new offering, a replica of the Commodore C64 packing some updated hardware like
- an Atom D525 (1.8 GHz) dual-core processor,
- and an Nvidia ION 2 GPU.

The upcoming all-in-keyboard PC will also have:
- 4GB of DDR3 memory,
- a 1TB hard drive,
- a DVD or Blu-ray drive,
- 802/11n WiFi,
- Bluetooth,
- a 6-in-1 card reader,
- and DVI, HDMI outputs.

for reference, here's an article with the statement from Commodore Gaming when Commodore USA last announced something (earlier this year):

Commodore Gaming, in the mean time, is a manufacturer of gaming computers. They primarily do business in Europe, though they were selling machines here in the US for a time. they do have a business presence in the US as the administrator of the Commodore section of Nintendo's Virutal Console, however.

The 64 was ugly as hell...if they could package this in the same style as the 128 though :drool: I loved my 128. Wish I never sold it.

Well, my guess is that we may start seeing this kind of all-in-one computer designs in offices more and more. It's a small space saving design and consumes very little power compared to most office desktop systems.
