Yes, this laptop DOES have a Commodore logo...

It is, in fact, a Commodore 64. "I want one" is the response of all retro-computing fans.

The designer, fresh from his triumph in making a Wii portable, says:

The goal this time was to make something that looked exactly like a computer from the early 80’s, yet in a new form. Including the color beige and texture.

He goes on to include a lot more information, none of which actually answers the question "But.. why?":

This is a fully functional Commodore 64 laptop using actual hardware, specifically the C64C motherboard which was one of the last and smallest revisions. It uses a Gamecube power supply in place of the original power brick

For storage there’s a device called the 1541-III DTV to “emulate” a floppy drive using an SD card. (Click here for more info) The SD card is formatted FAT-32 so you can dump disk images on it using a PC, and read it with the C64 - pretty cool!

The "why" of course, is a question you can only ask if you're the sort of person who wouldn't understand the answer. Amiga fans Will Understand...
