The current model also shows licensing through Clainto. Disappointing with
the fake keyboard but I picked one up just being the collector type as
they're pretty cheap at stores now. Either due to market fail or new model
anticipation.

Hard to justify costs vs a raspberry pi or just a stock c64.

Interesting also with the US not getting released yet. This was similar for
the commodore laptop and smartphone. It felt like they fizzled out before
they were allowed to sell in the US.  Not sure if that was argument over IP
or what.
