The OLED screen looks kind of out of place tbh. I think it would look better with a good old LCD.

- noja 10y agoGood old LCD? Funny guy.
- vidarh 10y ago"Good old LCD" isn't that unreasonable. Commodore actually bought an LCD manufacturer in the early 80's as part of Tramiels obsession with vertical integration. And as one result of that they built a prototype portable machine using an LCD in 1984 (NOT a C64 compatible, though). It was presented at Winter CES in 1985, but never made it to production: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=108 http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=108
- jandrese 10y agoCommodore seems like the kind of company that only ever succeeded despite its management. That laptop as described is ahead of its time and amazingly affordable ($500) and they killed it in the cradle. The most amazing part is that it apparently was going to run on 4 AAs for 5 hours.
