The Sony Hit-Bit 101 is the most beautiful computer ever made.

One of the most beautiful *japanese* computer maybe? Personally I think the Atmos is prettier!

MEZZO 84.10

I think Commodore 128 is the most beautiful computer ever made

@Sony Remember your roots. Bring back this type of design! 😎 Stay cool.

An upgraded restomod of this would be cool. Same case, same controls, but modern components and ports. I wonder how hard that would be... They're listed on ebay for ~$150-$400 🤔

The Ferrari of computers

Mezzo was epic, true. In Europe only the black ones were sold, and those had DIN for A/V. The whole set with all possible expansions was sold at a premium price.

it does look awesome

I miss when @Sony was making cool electronics

@MrAivalahostia Indeed

MSX on of my first computers!

I’ll take their design prowess over Apple’s. Obviously the market has spoken, but Sonys designs were tactile and analog-to-digital and didn’t look they were inspired by a tampon.

it truly is

I had a look for one on ebay last time I saw one on the timeline! Amazing looking thing

@MrAivalahostia Without a single doubt. It’s atemporal and unprecedented

@leventp

The amazing MSX world

So, this was basically a MSX, right?

The Cobra Mk3 of computers.

@lynmock 持ってたのコレだわさ(´・ω・｀)

That design still holds up. Timeless.

this is just design. It looks large enough to hold a regular sized laptop motherboard, so could probably make something like that today. Shoot you could probably make it yourself what with 3d printing.

Yep, pretty strong! Also, high on my list are the first Wondermega and the Hi Saturn Navi.

The MSX computers were the best, especially for games. This is the platform where many of the classics of today were born. By the way, follow Kazuhiko Nishi, the creator of the MSX as he is about to launch the new MSX 3:

Yes 😌

This is

@tbdeinc What is that?

I got one in the 90s .... Very nice, but lots of problems of compatibility (due to low RAM) with european games. But japanese cartridges where top!

It has a 5-speed manual gearbox

Yes it is.

Bring this aesthetic back

Was that built for game testing?
