/* Machine comparisons */
* The Amstrad's BASIC and firmware are said to be better than the Spectrum's BASIC and OS functions.
 
* The Spectrum 48K's keyboard was made from rubber, the CPC had a proper keyboard. The later Spectrum's had proper keyboards too.
 
NOTE: The Spectrum was acquired by Amstrad after the Spectrum 128K had been made. Amstrad then improved the build quality and enhanced it. The result was that the Spectrum +2, was closer in looks and build to the CPC464. The Spectrum +3 was similar to the Amstrad CPC6128 because both had a internal 3" drive. The overall hardware of the Spectrum didn't change, the graphics was the same, the sound was the same, but the later Spectrum's had built in joysticks, built in cassette or disc, connections for printer etc, all which the Amstrad had starting with the CPC464.
