 | | The Amstrad CPC 464 was an 8-bit home computer produced by Amstrad in the 1980s. | | | Magazines available for the system (at various times) included Amtix, Computing With The Amstrad, (the official) Amstrad Computer User, Amstrad Action, and CPC Attack. | | | The CPC 464 featured a Zilog Z80 processor, 64 KB of RAM, a palette of 27 colours (quite extensive for its time, most competitors having 8 or 16 colours), and an integrated cassette tape deck for program and data storage. |

| | Amstrad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the early-1990s Amstrad began to focus on portable computers rather than desktop computers. | | | A year later, in 1987, the Amstrad PCW 8512 was released as a computer dedicated to word processing, it was priced at £499. | | | As Amstrad began to concentrate less on computers and more in communication, they purchased several telecommunications businesses including Betacom, Dancall Telecom, Viglen Computers and Dataflex Design Communications during the early 1990s. |
