Commodore USA puts the recent C64 up for pre-sales, unveils far-less-retrotastic VIC-Slim

Now that Commodore USA has sufficiently piqued your curiosity with a revamped Commodore 64 prototype , it’s able to capitalize at the idea. Quite literally, we’d add. $595 buys you the elemental basic model with an 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom D525 chip, NVIDIA ION 2 graphics, 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard disk — which it promises to deliver by “early June” — with hundred-dollar increments adding premium features like a further 2GB of memory, a Blu-Ray drive, as much as 1TB of storage, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth. However, in case you’re simply searching out a compact keyboard computer (instead of reliving 80′s nostalgia) there’s an alternative choice on tap — a likely rebadged wedge of a machine (with weaker specs) that Commodore’s calling the VIC-Slim. Even at just $395, though, something tells us it won’t be the “wonder computer” of 2011.

    The 1st one may only amount to a MiFi housed within the dash (although that does come standard), but automaker Proton and Malaysian carrier Yes appear to have some fairly grand designs on 4G-connected cars. As well as providing a WiFi hotpot for passengers, they eventually hope to exploit the 4G connectivity for a number of automotive-related applications, including vehicle… »
