Overall review:

The Commodore 64 Ultimate is the most remarkable piece of retro revival hardware I've ever experienced. From the subtle texture of the keyboard to the unexpected floppy drive sound when launching a program, every important detail is perfect. Its modern upgrades—such as HDMI output and Ethernet and WiFi networking capabilities—further enhance the user experience by removing cumbersome barriers to older computers. But these modern features are just the icing on the cake: the system still retains its original feel, whether connected to a CRT monitor or using a dusty old 1501 floppy drive. The genuine love that went into this revitalized creation shines through every corner of the experience. I couldn’t be more excited to see the community of players that will emerge around the Commodore 64 Ultimate and how they will use the technology of the past to build the future. If you have even the slightest interest in retro computing technology, this collection is a must-have. It's pure 8-bit joy.
