- Opis:
- Siv računalnik z vgrajeno tipkovnico. [SLO]: Računalniki Commodore so pomembni primeri iz obdobja domačih računalnikov v 80-ih letih, pogosto imenovani tudi "računalniki s tipkovnico" zaradi svoje celovite zasnove, ki je celoten računalnik integrirala v ohišje s tipkovnico. Ti stroji so bili običajno prodani brez monitorjev in povezani s televizorji, kar je bila praktična in stroškovno učinkovita rešitev, ki je uporabnikom prihranila stroške ločenega monitorja. Računalniki Commodore, skupaj z rivali, kot je ZX Spectrum, so igrali ključno vlogo pri dostopnosti računalnikov širši javnosti. Pojavili so se v času, ko je postalo običajno imeti domač računalnik, in je bila množična proizvodnja v vzponu. Kljub temu, da so imeli precej šibkejše procesorje v primerjavi z velikimi poslovnimi računalniki tistega časa, so bili Commodore stroji več kot dovolj za domače uporabnike, kar jim je zagotovilo mesto med najbolj priljubljenimi računalniki vseh časov. Commodore 64, poimenovan po svojih 64 kilobajtih RAM-a, je ob svojem izidu leta 1982 imel za domač računalnik veliko kapaciteto pomnilnika. Opremljen z naprednimi grafičnimi in zvočnimi sistemi za tisti čas, je hitro postal priljubljen za igre, izobraževalne namene in produktivnost. Zaradi svoje dostopnosti, obsežne knjižnice programske opreme in uporabniku prijazne zasnove je bil široko sprejet v domovih, šolah in podjetjih. Živa skupnost uporabnikov in razvijalcev je Commodore 64 ohranila priljubljenega vse do 90-ih let, kar je utrdilo njegovo zapuščino kot ikonični simbol zgodnjih dni osebnega računalništva. [ENG]: Commodore computers are notable examples from the era of home computers in the 1980s, often referred to as keyboard computers due to their all-in-one design, which integrated the entire computer into a keyboard housing. These machines were typically sold without monitors and connected to televisions, a practical and cost-effective solution that saved users the expense of a separate monitor. Commodore computers, alongside rivals like the ZX Spectrum, played a pivotal role in making computers accessible to the general public. They emerged at a time when owning a home computer became commonplace, and mass production was on the rise. Despite having much weaker processors compared to the large, business-oriented computers of the time, Commodore machines were more than adequate for home users, securing their place as some of the most popular computers ever made. The Commodore 64, named for its 64 kilobytes of RAM, boasted a substantial memory capacity for a home computer upon its 1982 release. Equipped with advanced graphics and sound systems for its time, it quickly became a favorite for gaming, educational purposes, and productivity applications. Its affordability, extensive software library, and user-friendly design led to widespread adoption in homes, schools, and businesses. The vibrant community of users and developers kept the Commodore 64 popular well into the 1990s, cementing its legacy as an iconic symbol of the early days of personal computing.
