New Commodore Laptop, Yes I Said Commodore

With Asus having such great success with their UMPC the eeePC, why not have everyone jump into the game? Commodore (the machine that brings me such great memories of my hacking youth) seems to be jumping into the small laptop market. This tiny laptop was spotted at IFA. Not much is known yet about the machine, but I so want one. I’d put a C64 emulator on it and run around playing Summer Games or better yet, run my old Color64 BBS on it.

I think I just want to be spotted walking around with a laptop that bares the Commodore logo on it. Imagine the geek-cred you’d build with this in your backpack.

UPDATE

We have had some of the specs of the unit sent to us. They include:

  • 10-inch screen
  • 1.6GHz VIA C7-M processor
  • 80GB hard drive
  • 1GB of ram
  • built-in WiFi
  • optional Bluetooth

The specs are very similar to HP’s mininote and around the same price point of $600
