Not that it makes much difference on the comparison, but the Amstrad PC1512 [1] was a Personal Computer based on an Intel 8086 chip, you're probably confusing it with Amstrad CPC [2] which was a family of home computers based on the Z80. Edit: I discover now that there was also a Amstrad PCW family of PCs [3], though it don't see a PCW1512 model in there, so I'm not sure which one the parent was talking about.
