The Sinclair line of computers was extremely popular in the U.K. during the 1980s in part due to their low price. They also made their way to the U.S. via Timex but failed to achieve much success. While the the first Sinclair computer, the ZX80 was very cheap at the time, it was also very limited with only 1K of memory and a membrane keyboard among other limitations. Commodore's VIC-20 was introduced only a year later as another inexpensive competitor. While it was somewhat more expensive than the ZX-80, at least initially, it had far superior built in sound and graphics capabilities and more RAM (though the CPU was slower, at least for some things). The VIC-20 would go on to be the first computer to sell 1 million units. Read more: https://hive.blog/retrocomputing/@darth-azrael/sync-january-february-1981 #retrocomputing #Timex #Sinclair #ZX80
