That's pretty darn cool; he did an excellent job of recreating the C64 aesthetic.

You mean an uncomfortable keyboard and finnicky/exposed ports!?

and bad heat ventilation in early models? :)

Feel free to buy a dictionary and look up the definition of aesthetic.  :lol:

fine fine,  #-o

I mean an UGLY uncomfortable keyboard.  :)

though I guess I like the breadbin more than the 64C.

It doesn't really capture the aesthetic anyways.  There aren't enough cords shooting out all over the place and there's no power strip with 4+ power cables, so, he forgot that part of the design!

Tangled mess == 80s computing!

.....unless its a Spectrum.  Because then you just have a mess no matter what.

Jesus f'n Christ, that is unadulterated sweetness.

I am thunderstruck.

Absolutely divine, that c64 laptop is.
