Re: C64x
I dunno, it doesn't seem like anything special. It's underpowered, expensive, and doesn't even has the Commodore OS out of the box. If you're going for the nostalgia factor, I'd rather just have an original C64.
Other thoughts: What is with the official website? It looks awful! Web 1.0 called; it wants its website design back.

This is CRAZY...
They relaunched the Amiga line, they're making new VIC models that are basically powerful compact PC's like the 64 and VIC models in design, they have a new OS, I mean WOW. I thought they went bankrupt AGES ago!

Comes bundled with Linux. Commodore OS and Emulation coming soon??? Might as well run the emulator on a normal computer.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

It's a collectors item, not a serious computer. It could be if you wanted it to be, though.
