Conclusion

If you ever loved the Commodore 64, you are going to love this one. A product like this reminds us of the computers of the early 80s. Both kids and adults will love it, and you can use it as a low-cost PC or learn programming and other topics. I always used RPi as a low-cost Linux server running git and other stuff at home, but this is very cool. What do you think? Would you buy it for your kids?
