I get this same sense. I really want to need an RPi 400 out of nostalgia. My original machine was an Atari 400. It's not much to justify, but I can't think of what I'd actually do with it, other than put it on a shelf like a hipster. I think the closest recreated retro-experience is the Commander X16[0]. The thing I like about it is that it specifically isn't a modern computer. Everything is simple right in the hardware. Other choices are often capable of running a full Linux but then used to run a script or emulator. There's definitely the realistic possibility of getting to fully know your machine, especially given that there's extensive documentation and a community. Here's some hardware specs from c64-wiki[1] and it 'boots to basic' CPU: WDC 65C02S, a static descendant of the 6502 Speed: 8MHz Video: The VERA module generates VGA (and other formats) tile and bitmap modes; 128 sprites; 128K video RAM; palette with 256 colors selected from a total range of 4096 Sound: Yamaha YM2151 sound chip. 16-channel stereo Programmable Sound Generator PCM audio playback up to 48kHz 16-bit stereo RAM: 40K "low" or "BASIC" RAM An additional 512K SRAM (expandable to 2MB) in 8K banks ROM: Banked in 16K groups; contains an upgraded Commodore KERNAL, DOS functions and a 16 bit ABI, and an upgraded BASIC 2.0 Media: An on-board SD card with native FAT32 support Outputs: Two SNES controller ports, plus two additional SNES port headers PS/2 keyboard and mouse. VGA. Stereo audio. I2C bus Inputs: SD; four expansion slots with access to the CPU databus; IEC port; SNES ports; I2C bus Operating System: Commodore KERNAL and BASIC Battery-backed Microchip MCP7940N real-time-clock chip Form Factor: Micro-ATX [0] https://www.commanderx16.com https://www.commanderx16.com [1] https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Commander_X16#Hardware_specifications https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Commander_X16#Hardware_specifi...
