Default Commodore new models

Well this is news to me. I didn't know they were still making PC's.

I can think of a few applications these would come in handy.

Nice.

I like the design on the Phoenix. Somehow it looks modern, yet is reminicent of the old days... might just be me.

Thought that at first too, but I doubt the graphical part is very capable. With that in mind, it seems a tad expensive, though not nearly as over-the-top as that Apple... stuff.

Commodore? I thought they were dead!?

I like the idea. The design brings back memories: both of C64 and Amiga 500...

Like all of these small PC's the main drawback is the lack of a PCIE slot to have a decent video card, I noticed it mentions having a PCIE slot but must be for external use, can't see any room for a decent double slot video card inside the case!

I read somewhere that they were developing external video cards for laptops.

Sounds strange at first but it just might work for gamers.
