By Ben Woods
Commodore USA announced on Wednesday that it will be launching an all-in-one keyboard computer, branded as the PC64, that should be on sale before Christmas.
The device will feature an exact replica of the original beige Commodore C64 chassis, but under the bonnet it will house more modern specifications that include a dual-core Intel Atom 525 CPU with Nvidia Ion2 graphics, 4GB DDR3 memory, 1TB hard drive and a CD/DVD drive. A Blu-ray drive is available as an optional extra.
On the connectivity front, the PC64 offers HDMI-out, dual-link DVI, six USB ports, integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 6-in-1 media card reader. Pricing has not yet been disclosed.
