It could have been really good but
The entire machine and those dammed microdrives were really not ready and nearly all of the units we had for sale went back under warranty. The good old Sinclair "send them out and then fix any problems later" ethos. They overheated, the drives failed all the time, some boxes were missing the little Lego like blocks for tilting the unit up (for "easier" typing) the keys fell out if tipped upside down (just like the previous spectrum models) and in the end did Sinclair more harm than good.
