Comment highlights:
"Just as I predicted the Retro Games A1200 has been delayed again and won't be out until December 4th now." - @thelairdslair
"I was excited for the C64, however, the choice to go 16:9 instead of 4:3 makes it a hard pass." - @nikharron9928
"If want both better off buying a Thor lite for about £180 plus shipping ... Oled screens much better performance and the bottom screen can be a keyboard" - @reaper378
