Thing is, the only commonality I can find between it and the original is the name, it even needs an emulator to run Amiga-DOS, all it seems to be is a kind of wierd laptop with a retro name.

Looks like a (probably) non-upgradeable PC with a built in keyboard and the commodore name. Calling something a C64 doesn't make it one.

It it came with built-in C64 and Amiga emulators, plus a huge library of games for them, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
