Abroad has the retro look of the 1980s, but inside there is the technology of the 21st century. It is the new/old Commodore 64, the team launched in 1982 and made the delight of many young adults who now wander through the 1930s. Continue - as before - being a giant keyboard (beige) with a monitor behind him and a mouse are connected (not included).
Some of the extras adapted to more modern times, however, are there, even for some of the gadgets of the day: has, for example, a player Blu-ray (optional) and an HDMI connection, to be able to be connected to a compatible TV screen.The price of this team again to create the thinking of nostalgia is not, however, a number that can spend on a whim. Prices - depending on the characteristics - vary between $ 250 and $ 895 USD similar to other comparable hardware desktop computers.
The new Commodore 64 is available in online store for the first time since a few weeks ago and their first limited units sold out in less than 24 hours, despite not knowing exactly how many of these computers were produced in this first wave. A second wave of sales and its creations are held in May and June.
"We are counting on the factor of nostalgia for the public." "This happened in many of these people who bought the original Commodore 64 computer in 1980, like me," said Barry Altman, CEO of Commodore of the United States.UU., quoted by the Los Angeles Times. Altman pointed out: "But also we see that children who are geniuses who have iPhones and geek and iPads and suchlike also like this." They have really been a large part of the customer base so far. "It has been a surprise."
"We are taking some difficulties in the maintenance of our shop online to work because the servers are increasingly congested by the extra traffic", Altman said. "This was also a surprise". "It is a good basis for the work team, to see the e-mails, for multimedia use and basic games", he sums up about its features.
The new units have a dual-core Intel Atom 1.8 GHz, a card Nvidia ion2, 4 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage space. The devices work with the operating system Ubuntu (open source), but are also prepared to "run" the latest operating system from Microsoft, Windows 7.
The original model of the C64 was marketed for the first time in 1982 and had 64 kilobytes of memory. Is it had quickly become one of the best-selling history.
