Because of very good packaging the Altair 8800 Mini arrived in great condition. The Altair fired right up and is running great. It’s fun to play with a smaller replica of the original Altair 8800 that I purchased as a kit way back in 1975 from MITS. Good value for the money and it looks great sitting on my desk.

Amazing quality computer. Beautifully made. INCREDIBLY well packaged too. Thank you for the instructions too; absolutely essential!!! UK customs gave me a nasty surprise bill, but that’s Brexit for you, NOT fault of seller.

Excellent communication with the seller. The item arrived in generally good condition, though the box had some damage that caused a few minor scuffs to the case—nothing major. It came with the SD card and manuals, which were decent, though the best documentation is available on their website. This is a solidly built computer. I’ve been using it daily to run WordStar, and it’s been performing very well.

Everything was ok. I loved this Computer! The Arduino Emulator is perfect! I was able to run the code from the Altair Original Manual using the keys and LEDs, which adds 2 values ​​of RAM memories 128 and 129! 🙂 I bought it with wifi and internal terminal to connect my usb keyboard and my vga monitor. I received the documentation and examples for running on the SD Card, simulating Drives and Hard Disk, such as Basic and CP/M. I recommend the seller to everyone! I’m very satisfied! Thanks!
