Amstrad's 1991 Notepad Computer - Haven't We Seen This Somewhere Before?

In 1986 Amstrad bought Sinclair but didn't get the Z88 - roll forward five years and what's Amstrad releasing now? Was this machine just a blatant copy, was the too little, too late, in a market that had moved on? Or was it genius?

FiFine kindly supplied me their K690 and it's really helped with the audio on my channel. If you like what you hear - head to: https://fifinemicrophone.com/collecti... and tell 'em I sent ya :)
