Commodore Phoenix questions

[persia]

The address is a furniture store.  It's a PC.  They claim to be in negotiations with a Dutch company that owns the Commodore name.  They are *not* in anyway shape or form related to the Commodore we knew and loved.  They are pricey for the specs they have.  The owner of "Commodore USA" went to the plants making various PCs and negotiated unbranded versions so that he could stick the Commodore labels on himself.  You will be far better off putting together your own box and throwing a Commodore label on it.  Actually you'll have one advantage of printing your own labels.  Your machine will be legal since you aren't selling someone else's brand, just putting a label on a computer for personal use!

A low end PC in a screenless laptop format.  Back in the days of CRTs and expensive video panels it made some sense to save a few bucks but putting the computer in the keyboard.  Times have changed, the original companies that distributed these things were underwhelmed when it came to sales.  Somebody thought they'd sell better if you slapped a Commodore label on them and made them some sort of faux nostalgia machine.  Who knows?  Me, I'll stick a computer box in a cabinet under of TV and use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  It's cheaper and cleaner....  No wires across my lounge room floor..l

My solution has no wires, yours has a power cord to deal with.  Mine has an inexpensive keyboard and mouse that can be replaced when worn or damaged.  My keyboard is lighter, cooler to put on your lap.  Plus for the same money I can get a modern chip with 4 cores instead of two and running a faster cpu.  I can easily replace parts.

The Faux Commodore Invictus offers nothing yhat you can't do better and cheaper with a box and bluetooth.

@persia

No one would suggest you would use a Commodore Phoenix for your lounge room, it is a desktop computer.
The Commodore Invictus which has wireless HDMI is better suited for the lounge room. ;-)
It would not require anything in the cabinet nor would you need to worry about purchasing wireless peripherals and a HDMI cable.

All these comments about a product that doesn't exist, drawn by an unknown artist who likely doesn't know his work is being used, produced by a furniture company reusing the Commodore brand.  Yawn.

We all know if Commodore had survived they wouldn't be making computers in a keyboard (aka screenless laptops).  They did that a decade an a half ago because it was cheaper to construct.  Now it's more expensive.   Had Commodore survived they'd have switched to laptops and would be coming out with Android tablets....
