If your willing to use the standards of the 8-bit era, there are dramatically MORE choices today than there ever were. If you are comparing the computers to top of the line PCs, no. The x86 PC has vastly outpaced everything else out there, but if you are willing to hack on a screen yourself, and put together your own keyboard, you have a huge choice.
Heck Microchip technology is actively selling a couple of hundred different models alone, ranging from 8-bit to 32-bit.
