I never actually had a Commodore 64 when I was younger (I was an Amstrad boy myself), but I still think that the computer is an icon of 80s design.  Still, not so useful lately in comparison to laptops – unless of course you hack it into some sort of C64 PDA!

Commodore 64 Laptop

With the serial keyboard from a Jornarda PDA, an ever-handy PSOne LCD display and a variety of other useful bits, Petscii forum member ‘jtwinters’ built this 6.5 x 6 x 1.5 inch portable unit that can run either on external power or its own batteries.

More photos after the cut – including one which emphasises just how small this hack is!
