Hmm... that'd be some nifty manoeuvring to get the third barge close to the river bank without the rest of them being pushed ashore by the current. Better take a skipper aboard!

It's back... and better than ever! The new Commodore 64 is a modern functional PC as close to the original in design as humanly possible. It houses a modern mini-ITX PC motherboard featuring a Dual Core 525 Atom processor and the latest Nvidia Ion2 graphics chipset. It comes in the original taupe brown/beige color, with other colors to follow.

The new Commodore 64 features genuine Cherry brand key switches, which provide a feel much better than the original, with a lovely IBM classic mechanism and click sound. The keys are the exact same shape as the original and are color matched. No expense has been spared. This is the ultimate hackers keyboard on which to wield your key-fu.

The base Commodore 64 comes with 2 GB of DDR3 memory and is expandable to 4 GB.

The new Commodore 64 can be connected to the latest televisions and monitors, and can deliver 1080p HD quality video playback and 6 Channel High Definition Audio for an excellent home theater experience. It also incorporates wireless n wifi for exceptional internet video streaming quality.
 
^Perfect weapon against a zombie invasion. Endless supply of projectiles, no need of fuel or power source.
 
That's kind of dumb. The reason you want a C64 is for it to look like and feel like a C64.

It's a modern computer in a C64 case and keyboard. How the hell does it not feel like a C64? Because it has more than 64kb of RAM? :?
 
I was looking around that Comodore site at some of the other models they will be offering. I realized that the old setup of the keyboard being the computer makes a lot of sense these days. What if it came with a wireless dongle that just plugs into the HDMI slot on your television and the keyboard was stored in a charging dock? You could save money over a laptop since you wouldn't need a screen or speakers and it would be an ideal computer for people to keep in their living room as a basic internet/media machine.

I like this idea, but it would be awesome if it worked with the retro 64 model. State-of-the-art wireless everything sitting on your coffee table like a hipster piece of retro-tech.
 
While I see the appeal of such a device, it seems more logical to just make the input (mouse, keyboard) wireless rather than the display. Attach the device to the TV and more or less forget about it, and you can make your keyboard look like a C64 or whatever you want.
