Commodore PC64

Commodore USA, the computer company permanently trapped in the 80s, will be rolling out its latest device known as the Commodore PC64. The new retro PC will apparently be powered by an Intel Atom processor and support up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and a SATA 1TB hard drive. We're not sure what the defaults will be, but there is some configuration possible. The all-in-one-minus-display includes an HDMI output allow people to play Pong on their TVs... just kidding... There is also a side-mounted optical drive that you can configure as a read/write DVD/CD or Blu-ray. This PC defined nostalgia and retro with its OEM beige Commodore case and hidden peripherals.

The goal is to have it hit shelves (or at least be able to be ordered online) in time for the holiday buying season and the expected retail price is between $475 and $1,295 depending upon how many configurations they offer. This is truly for those who want a conversation piece as it's going to be somewhat price-prohibitive for anyone looking for a value product.
