Came here to say the same about the CPC price.

All manner of fascinating stuff in Amstrad history. e.g. the 3" disc drive (not 3.5") Seemingly he found a cheap supply - so we got them on the spectrum, CPC and the PCW.

A PCW was what my father brought home from a computer fair, instead of the anticipated Amiga or PC. Even more integrated than the CPC with computer & drives built into the monitor and shipping with a printer. A predecessor of the iMac (made in a hell-dimension)

PCWs were pretty decent word processing machines in their time, IMHO. We had an 8256 and a 9512 when I was a kid and they were surprisingly nice to use. I still remember the clatter of the daisywheel printer fondly.
