So I just got a new computer...

It looks rather similar to those (has the same case)

But its an upgraded version with a 8Mhz processor with a TURBO button that overclocks the CPU to 16 Mhz :D

It also has a 9" color monitor.

Best of all it still works!

edit:

Holy crap I just stated it up and looked at the bios,

It has 640KB of ram, a 80286 processor

and 256K/64K of Dram



It probably cost around $10,000 as it was a telemetry data processor.

Runs on MSDOS copyright 1981-1994.

I think this might be the only one in existence set up like this... I've tried finding anything about it on Google, but I think it was custom built for NASA.

Nah NASA had us junk it, so I took it rather than throwing it out.

No idea, it doesn't have a HDD so I'd need a floppy disk with Pac Man on it :P

Couldn't this technically be called a laptop because you can carry it wherever you go in a suitcase? Also found this on yahoo: http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/112510/new-commodore-64-nyt

I feel like slapping you right now for confusing a Compaq Data Processor for a Commadore 64 ._.
