But why pretend it's a C64? That's like BMW pretending they build
Minis. :)
I am not really up to date with the latest Intel CPUs, especially given
their confusing names these days. (e.g. a Core 2 has only 1 core, not 2,
but a Core 2 Duo has 2 cores, and not 4. And how many cores does an i3,
i5 or i7 have?) AMD on the other hand, use logical names for their CPUs.

It isn't, really, you know. The Core2 Duo is quite an old machine now.
The Core i3 is rather more modern, significantly faste

Think of it as a modern computer in the "C64 form factor" (shape).
Does this form factor have any technical advantages over modern desktops?

I would think it is real, there is no reason why such hardware should
not exist. And great as well that the default OS is Ubuntu, if you want
Windows, you pay extra. All computer

It's true inasmuch as that machine is not even remotely a Commodore
64. It's an all-in-one but otherwise entirely generic x86 PC be
