A Comparison of Legendary 16-Bit Computer Systems

By examining the technical capabilities alongside adjusted pricing (in today's dollars) of different computers, we gain insight into which systems offered the best Price/Value ratio at the time.

Please note:

• Some systems, such as the Sinclair QL and Acorn Archimedes, were originally sold in the UK and priced in British Pounds
• For consistency, their historical prices have been converted to US Dollars using the current GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.22
• All modern equivalent prices are adjusted for inflation (2023 dollars)

A detailed breakdown follows in the table below (not included in this excerpt).
