Atari Will Release a Mini Edition of Its 1979 Atari 400 (Which Had An 8-Bit MOS 6502 CPU)

An 1979 Atari 8-bit system re-released in a tiny form factor? Yep.
Retro Games Ltd. is releasing a 'half-sized' version of its very first home computer, the Atari 400, 'emulating the whole 8-bit Atari range, including the 400/800, XL and XE series, and the 5200 home console. ('In 1979 Atari brought the computer age home,' remembers a video announcement, saying the new device represents 'The iconic computer now reimagined.')
More info from ExtremeTech:

For those of you unfamiliar with it, the Atari 400 and 800 were launched in 1979 as the company's first attempt at a home computer that just happened to double as an incredible game system. That's because, in addition to a faster variant of the excellent 8-bit MOS 6502 CPU found in the Apple II and Commodore PET, they also included Atari's dedicated ANTIC, GTIA, and POKEY coprocessors for graphics and sound, making the Atari 400 and 800 the first true gaming PCs...

If it's as good as the other Retro Games systems, the [new] 400Mini will count as another feather in the cap for Atari Interactive's resurgence following its excellent Atari50 compilation, reissued Atari 2600+ console, and acquisitions of key properties including Digital Eclipse, MobyGames, and AtariAge.

The 2024 version — launching in the U.K. March 28th — will boast high-definition HDMI output at 720p 50 or 60Hz, along with five USB ports. More details from Retro Games Ltd.
Also included is THECXSTICK — a superb recreation of the classic Atari CX-40 joystick, with an additional seven seamlessly integrated function buttons. Play one of the included 25 classic Atari games, selected from a simple to use carousel, including all-time greats such as Berzerk, Missile Command, Lee, Millipede, Miner 2049er, M.U.L.E. and Star Raiders II, or play the games you own from USB stick. Plus save and resume your game at any time, or rewind by up to 30 seconds to help you finish those punishingly difficult classics!
