Commodore (back after 25 years) Update…
Earlier on in 2007 Commodore announced they were coming back in the form of PC systems!
Well I can now say that Commodore have been selling their new machines, they run Windows Vista 64-bit version.
Its cool how in 1980’s it was 8-bit C64 in 2008 its 64-bit Commodore PC
Here’s a review from Commodore website:
Pros Excellent spec for gamers. Loads of stylish skins to choose from. It says Commodore on it
Cons Costs as much as 11 Xbox 360s
After dominating ’80s home computing with the C64 and Amiga, Commodore died a horrible, slow death in the ’90s. But now the brand has been revived for a range of Windows PCs aimed at gamers. Prices start at £1000 for the entry-level G model, rising through the GS and GX to the top-of-the-range XX, tested here.
When is a Commodore not a Commodore?
You might be wondering what’s so Commodorey about a PC that’s specced (as these machines inevitably are) with components from numerous different companies. Times have changed since computer manufacturers made their own bespoke hardware, and yes, in many ways the XX is just another PC.
In fact, you could say the Commodore connection is only ‘C-Kin’ deep. C-Kins are Commodore’s own custom case design decals that can be added and removed to suit your mood, new wallpaper or fashion leanings, and it’s these above anything else that mark out the Commodore range from the competition.
