This is not a C64, and is not even a real attempt at a reboot, but rather a bunch of crap.

More precisely, it's just a PC, and a company who produces and designs nothing (commodoreusa.net), but simply resells other people's products, decided to flog it as a "C64" to try and lure in some suckers. They don't even have rights to the Commodore name or logo.
So far they have done a reasonable job of tricking 'tech sites' into publishing their amazing 'news releases'. It's scary to think how easy it is these days for anyone to produce a news release, and then a bunch of 'news sites' will publish it blindly without too much verification.
As far as normal consumers go, probably just mid-high end printers. For example my new Brother laser has USB + parallel on it.
However many PC motherboards still have a parallel and serial port and since the machine is just an shrunken PC, it's not that big a shock, in my opinion..
These days not many but I still use them a lot for my retro/vintage activities, EPROM burning etc.
On my real C64 and VIC-20 however it's easier to take out the SD card, pop it into my PC and copy stuff onto or off it and then put it back into the Commodore.
Most I have seen still have serial and parallel, usually just as headers on the board that you buy an optional back slot connector with a ribbon cable running back to the header. Other than that you are stuck with a serial card.
