Found this on http://recollection.c64.org/ (http://recollection.c64.org/)

Second copy is optimized to be a wallpaper for 720p (1280x794, it's perfect on my notebook 1280X800 display outside that the original source image left something to be desired on image focus)

Your link is incomplete, but I've seen it, that's a cool lookin laptop.  I have the original C64 Portable (The sx-64 suitcase computer)

It needs some TLC, a chip was starting to go out last I knew (it still works with most software, but I think the PLA chip was starting fail, and some programs showed signed of math errors in the graphics display last time I had it running, keyboard input got garbled in some software too.)

Can't get rid of it, it's practically the center of my museum, lol.
