And the return of the Amiga, Spectrum, Atari ST... well almost. Computer design will recurse when Asus release their Eee keyboard PC in the September of this year. The unit will be not much bigger than a regular qwerty keyboard, but will sport a small touchscreen monitor to the right of the keys.Looks handy, novel and nostalgic. As long as the price is right it could be a viable purchase. The keys look a bit iffy though.

Honestly, this doesn't remind the slightest of any of these computers, except maybe the ZX Spectrum 128k with builtin tape recorder on the right side.
ReplyDeleteWhat this reminds of, above all, is the new MacBook keyboard style that they've been using for the last couple of years.
Yes, looks like mac keys all right. I wasn't referring to its aesthetic similarities though.
