/* History */
*Spectrum 48K sold for £99. The CPC464 with Green Screen monitor sold for £299 and with colour monitor for £399. One selling point was that the Amstrad needed only 1 plug, and that you didn't need to use the family television to use it. Also the Spectrum 48k wasn't supplied with any Monitor nor Mass Data Storage device.
* The Spectrum was designed to be used with a television, the Amstrad was designed to be used with and was sold with a Monitor either a green screen monitor or colour monitor. * Amstrad's monitors include the powersupply for the Amstrad CPC. A "TV connection + powersupply" solution was also available : [[Amstrad MP1/MP2 modulator]]
* The Spectrum was sold as a games machine, the Amstrad was sold more as a multi purpose machine (in the UK anyway).
* The Amstrad's BASIC and firmware are said to be better than the Spectrum's BASIC and OS functions.
