They cannot be compared with each other, but this looks and sounds millions of times more cool than some one chip msx......

Also, in case links at the bottom of that page get changed, here is one interesting link too, about Commodore 64 laptop.

It's not a C64, it's sort of a ready-made casemod.

The latter link (Ben Heck's project is cool (and has been reported about before), the first link is just an example of how trademarks can be abused imho :/

yeah, but one chip msx is not msx either. At least not to me. It´s A SHAME that Commodore 64 look-a-like (pc-)computer has to use EMULATION to use "Commodore 64 mode".......... though it´s not any better thing that serious amiga guys have to use emulation to run Amiga software ON THEIR ***AMiGAs***!!!!! And they still think it´s Amiga they are using....

Yeah, but anyway, I just wanted to show this link, as that "Commodore 64" looks good, even the keyboard looks worse than original.

About trademark abuse, it felt a bit odd, when I once used Commodore cd at work.... though that felt nice too.

What we need is just a new batch of Turbo-Rs with the disk drive replaced by a SD card slot, a USB port and an Ethernet connector. Oh, and VGA output would be nice too.

Yeah, and that is probably the only thing I like in One Chip MSX.

</daydreaming>What would you want to do with that USB port? I'd rather have the whole thing as a laptop, then :-)
