Jon 🇨🇦Makes me want to get a new Commodore 64. I tell myself maybe this is the computer I never got as a kid but could experience it now.
Does this have a web browser too or just access to the internet for only specific features built-in?

Ethan Black@SamuraiSakura No, no web browser. It isn't really powerful enough for that to be practical*. It does have features for "game sharing", and a BBS client I think. It really is a simple computer, by modern standards :)
*You can increase the CPU speed to 48 or 64 MHz, and enable more RAM than the usual 64KB. Maybe one can make a simple browser for basic no-TLS HTML sites? IDK.
@golemwire Would be cool to browse gopher and gemini sites in the future. Thanks for the info.
@SamuraiSakura I love Gemini for " #smallComputing ". I think it would fit #Commodore 's vision well. Maybe someone will write a Gemini browser for the #C64U . If not, I hope Commodore will consider Gemini in the future. I think it would fit their "Digital Detox Brand" vision.
Julianoë@golemwire @SamuraiSakura Wait, this is the legit commodore brand that sells a real commodore or is it an homage site?
@golemwire @SamuraiSakura "On 31 July 2025, we completed the full acquisition of the whole of Commodore Corporation, signing the final papers in The Netherlands - having completed payment ahead of schedule. This acquisition includes all 47 surviving original Commodore trademarks, the oldest dating back to 1983."
OK, weird.
