You've got to be kidding…it might be much easier to design something equivalent to an Apple II, or C=64 or IBM-PC than it was in the earlier years since there are now chips that combine the functionality of what used to be quite a few separate parts; but, if you're trying to design a new computer that has a 'technological edge' over it's competitors…that's much harder than it used to be. Back in the old days, all you had to do was add color to be in the lead. Now you have to have the latest processor, the fastest clock speed, the highest graphic resolution, the fastest graphic routines, the fastest HD, etc. to get into the lead. In fact, you almost have to have those things just to compete.
