It's true inasmuch as that machine is not even remotely a Commodore
64. It's an all-in-one but otherwise entirely generic x86 PC being
sold by a small company who has bought (or leased) the rights to the
Commodore name, which has been widely traded in the 16 years since the
company went bust.

There's virtually no info on that rather amateurish page; I found it
through an inaccurate & error-riddled news story on ZDNet Australia
last night.
