I'm a big retrocomputing enthusiast (in the C64 and Apple // realms) and the people doing this project are well-known in the community, but I just have trouble believing this will be successful. I don't want a computer that's kinda like a C64. I have a C64, and anyone who really likes that platform can either buy one on ebay or emulate it. A new platform that is a shadow of a platform from 40 years ago is such a niche market that I have trouble seeing how it'll ever be popular enough to get the price to a reasonable level. Maybe I'm wrong and there's a huge untapped market for retro-like computers. Pico-8 shows that there is some market for retro-like emulators, but asking someone to pay $14 is a lot different than $100 (or more).
