I was happy to see the C64 called out near the end of this. I love that machine, and the Amiga so much. And reading about this Pi 400 the other day truly struck me in the same vein. I honestly don't care much about the couple obvious shortcomings, for $100, this is a purely nostalgia purchase for me.

I could do with some case color options, but that's a small niggle given what this thing can do. And I appreciate the focus on price point. Old school design constraints.

Have you looked into the Atari 8-bit home computers (800, 800XL, 130XE)? They were designed by the same people who designed the Amiga (eg. Jay Miner) and are basically 8-bit Amigas.
Yep. I had a C64 and my step-brother had an Atari 800. It was a cool machine as well. Same processor, but radically different graphics and sound chip, if I remember correctly.
