The Commodore 16 was a home computer made by Commodore with a 6502-compatible 7501 CPU, released in 1984. It was intended to be an entry-level computer to replace the VIC-20.Outwardly it resembled the Commodore 64, but with a black case and white keys. However, internally it had only 16 Kilobytes of RAM (instead of 64), with 12K available to its built-in BASIC interpreter, and a less capable sound and video chipset, the TED. It also lacked a modem port. The included BASIC 3.5 was however more powerful than the C64's BASIC 2.0, and had sound and high-resolution graphics (320x200 pixels) built in.
The Commodore 16 was never a big commercial success, but enjoyed some popularity in Europe.
The Commodore 16 was one of three computers in its family. The Commodore 116 was functionally and technically similar but shipped in a smaller case with a rubber chiclet keyboard and was only available in Europe. The Commodore Plus/4 shipped in a smaller case but had a 59-key full-travel keyboard, 64K of RAM, a modem port, and built-in software.
