CPC 464 — The Amstrad CPC 464 arrived not as a kit, not as a promise, but as a complete system: a beige slab of utilitarian design with a full-size keyboard, a built-in cassette data…
CPC 464 Plus — Amstrad positioned the CPC 464 Plus as a pivot toward gaming, introducing a cartridge slot absent in earlier models.

CPC 6128 Plus — Marketed as the '6128 Plus' or 'CPC 6128+', this machine arrived in September 1990 as Amstrad’s final update to its long-running CPC series.
GX4000 — The GX4000 was positioned as a video games console, a strategic departure for Amstrad, which had previously focused on home computers and word processors.
Mega PC — Amstrad Mega PC (1993): a budget PC with a built-in Sega Mega Drive, marketed under Alan Sugar and quickly flopped due to an outdated CPU and £999.99 price.

PC1512 — The PC1512 emerged not as a marginal curiosity but as a market disruptor, arriving at a moment when IBM PC compatibility was becoming essential but remained expensive.
PC1640 — The Amstrad PC1640 stood at the summit of Amstrad’s personal computer range, a machine engineered not for tentative entry but for decisive capability.
