AMSTRAD - PCW
I think this section is wrong. The PCW was made cheaply, but also sold ridiculously cheaply. The article kind of implies that £300 was a lot of money, when it was rock-bottom-prices.

The rival machines were also 10x as expensive. And I mean that. A 1986 Apple MAC cost well over £2000. Only businesses could really afford them. Amstrad not only produced a comparable machine for 10% of the price but the Amstrad machine was arguably superior to the Apple MAC.

I think it needs to change because it implies something that isn't true - the article suggests he made cheap things and sold them expensively, when in fact he made brilliant things, very cheaply, then also sold them very cheaply. And it probably doesn't give enough credit to how brilliant Amstrad actually were in the 1980s. They weren't ripping people off with cheap rubbish - they were making brilliant machines, at ridiculously low prices (compared to Apple Mac and IBM)
