Another Retro Computer returns from the ashes

[dammy]

This one is for my fellow Brits: RISC OS returns on new cheap hardware.

Still early days of course, but the specs are interesting:

720MHz ARM CPU
PowerVR graphics
256Mb of RAM onboard
Ultra small form factor (nano itx or thereabouts).
RISC OS5

Price? £120

Hmm, anyone else here something that sounded like the pin being pulled on a grenade just then?

Yeah, EFIKA-MX would probably be a better deal then the Beagle once you add in items to make them comparable.  $300 EFIKA-MX netbook isn't that much more really.

You mean like the Efika?

Everyone complained about how low-end and slow it was/is.
I don't know of any PPC cpus you can get though that would be that cheap.

Try looking at the ARM based EFIKA-MX: http://www.genesi-usa.com/products
