Posting my favorite computer in my collection: the red Sony HB-101 MSX. It’s utterly underpowered but just look at it! The color! The 80s futurism! The little joystick! The handle!
Just look at it…
@polpo I bet those keys make really satisfying clicks.
@polpo Beautiful colour and form factor! Reminds me of this guy from The Black Hole.

@polpo O M G.

Why cant we have such beauty today?

@polpo I remember that "turd". LOL!!!!
@polpo It reminds me of the Alice 90. Also underpowered but such a beauty 🀩
@polpo Gorgeous 😍 I would gut it and put a Raspberry Pi in there or something (if I could figure out how to connect the keyboard to it and expose the ports and stuff)

@hyperlinkyourheart @polpo Unless it's unsalvageable, please don't do this. The MSX line is still somewhat maintenable - you can still buy branch new Z80s, as well as many of the support chips.

But creating a RPi case inspired by it, yes, absolutely!

@polpo That thing looks great.
@polpo @thegibson God, there’s like one specific short time interval where this red color was the color of future electronics. And I want it back
@polpo that joystick is a delight.
@polpo What a beauty! Love it.
@polpo I want to hook that into a direct neural interface while me and my team breaks into a megacorp arcology.
@polpo That is a ridiculously keen machine
@polpo @lmorchard It looks like something Molly Millions might have to get back for Johnny Mnemonic!
@polpo nice is that the steam deck πŸ˜‚
@polpo And it's got the CTRL key in the exact right place.
@polpo I’d take that thing over a red Ferrari any day.
@polpo That "It's a Sony" sticker
@polpo this is what the rpi 400 should have looked like.
@polpo i can only dream how useful could the stick be in kerbal space program (IF it wers analog)
@polpo sexiest MSX ever. <3
@polpo that is absolutely beautiful, except for the obviously terrible wrist angle that it seems to encourage. but i still love it! thanks for sharing.
@polpo This is the only #cyberdeck ever made.
@polpo Those Hit Bit MSX were damn beautiful. I found the little joystick fascinating.
@polpo Absolutely gorgeous. I had the Hit-Bit MSX Sony sold over here which was a nicely styled machine but not a patch on that beauty.
@polpo so beautiful 😍.
@polpo is it some kind of MSX machine?
@polpo @arthurwyatt but what king of switches? Is it clicky?
@jadepearl @arthurwyatt sorry to disappoint, but it's not mechanical. Keyfeel is really mushy... 😒
@polpo @arthurwyatt Man, it looked SO styling! Maybe like Safavid rugs it needs one imperfection to not cause jealousy amongst the divine.
@polpo Wow. Sony made all the coolest looking gadgets in the 80s.
@polpo Looks like it’s doing 100Mhz just standing still. 😸
@polpo That has the makings of an absolute fantastic sleeper sys. :D
@polpo dear Jesus, this is just a cyberdeck. Like all we need to do is bolt a little display to it and add a datajack interface.

@polpo im new.. do you report people for posting porn like this?
