| 868736 | 2010-03-20 12:56:00 | And a new one is due to be released in June (www.commodoreusa.net). Looks like it can take a dual or Quad CPU, up to 2 TB's, up to 4 GB DDR2 ram, a DVD-RW, has a GB NIC. You can install XP, Win7, OSX (with additional hardware), or linux software on it. I have no idea why theyre calling it the commodore 64. It doesnt say anything about being able to run commodore (like amiga software). Probably because it uses a 64 bit CPU? Looks pretty compact tho, all you need is a monitor / mouse. Everything is packed into the keyboard More info about it here (www.pcworld.com l) |

| 868738 | 2010-03-20 19:02:00 | Several other manufacturers have made a few keyboard as a computer varieties.When it comes to repairs or upgrades, you might as well have an Apple. You are locked into a single supplier with poor supply, few choices, and monopoly pricing. The Wintel (non-big-brand) PC is a pretty hard thing to beat for value. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 868740 | 2010-03-20 19:51:00 | It claims to be able to boot from ANY USB device, (Their emphasis) that opens up new possibilities for my joystick, and the printer will be overjoyed to take a commanding role. ;) It is hard to fault their "About us" page, it lays out the warranty plans very succinctly. |

| 868741 | 2010-03-20 20:56:00 | It's clever and looks cool, but I like things that I can upgrade... But a touchpad? why? |

| 868742 | 2010-03-20 21:01:00 | Really? I loaded it both in IE and FF, disabled adblocking and all else that might cause it but no, I still got this. |

| 868743 | 2010-03-20 21:29:00 | That is a succinct statement of "Warranty? Yeah, right. Here's your warranty" | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 868744 | 2010-03-20 22:48:00 | Looks cool although I think that only "older" people who are reminising would buy one. | xyz823 (13649) | ||
| 868745 | 2010-03-21 01:18:00 | the whole website is kinda clunky, I wouldnt expect the pricing to be all that competitive either | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
