The Commodore brand name has just been bought and the new company, Commodore USA, wants to bring that classic keyboard computer into homes in the near future.

It’s pretty much the same as the old setup but this time it will have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (and even a Quad Core version), 2 TB of storage and everything you see in your regular tower desktop including VGA ports and LAN out. It can’t beat the Eee Keyboard though since it only features a trackpad and no mini touchscreen on the right side like its competitor. No wireless on it as well. If my laptop is any indication, this will run pretty hot; it’ll sure give a new meaning to ‘hotkeys’.

No word on pricing or availability. In the mean time, dust off your old C64 and relive those great TV gaming moments of the past.
