/* History */
*The Spectrum 48K was released in the UK in 1982. The Amstrad CPC464 was released in the UK in 1984.
*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 monitor nor Mass Data Storage 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 + powersupplypower supply" 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).
