Mini Commodore SX-64 (1:5 Scale)

Mini Commodore SX-64 (1:5 Scale)

Description

The Commodore SX-64 was a ‘portable’ version of Commodore’s successful Commodore 64 home computer, released in 1983 just months after the C64. Whilst it was undoubtedly portable, the fact that in weighed over 10kg and required an external power supply meant it was a long way off what’s now considered a portable computer. It wasn’t a great success, and was discontinued in 1986. I decided to recreate the SX-64 in a more portable form at 1:5 scale, tipping the scales at a more manageable 80g. There are always inevitable trade-offs necessary when miniaturising technology though, and one of those was the removal of technology, although I’m sure someone could work some magic and cram a Pi in there or something.
