Maybe I'm an idiot, but I ordered one when they announced it. I have 2 perfectly good C64s already but the CRT whine drives my dog and kid nuts, so looking forward to HDMI!

I thought the new one would have more capabilities than just running c64 apps. There is a mod of steamdeck kind of like commodore, but it's not perfect either.

There are HDMI mods for the C64 as well.

Yep, that's how the new one is getting HDMI. They've collaborated with several of the major hardware guys and put it all together in a pretty package at a cheaper price then doing it myself. I already have a bunch of hardware, this is just a splurge.
