You could, for 170 pounds, get an Acorn Atom. It had 2KB of RAM (twice as much!), a proper keyboard, an excellent BASIC, and a video chip.

- klelatti 6y agoWikipedia says that would be over £700 in 2019 money - too much for a 15 year old! Besides the £170 Atom only had Integer Basic - we had real (sort of) floating point. I'm still jealous of anyone who had an Atom though.
