For some reason I do like the idea to have new old stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised if you opened it and it just contained some ARM chip and Linux running some Win95 emulator. And if it's not, it might be repurposed old chips that have questionable quality. Still, the option for some kid to get hands on CGA graphics, Adlib sound and an ISA bus as a new-retro system is nice. It's way cheaper to use an energy friendly ARM system and run some emulator though, and you keep the option to run a modern Linux system if possible.

@Eight Bit your 386 link show "sorry this item no longer available" bummer.

the 8088 at $305 AUD is very intriguing...

I’ll wait for the sparc edition.

Completely different product, but it still reminded me of the 386 handheld shape. This is Risk-V and not made for Windows or gaming and you can't buy one (yet, and not sure if you should either).
