ZX Spectrum 48K+

The Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K Plus, released in 1986, was an updated iteration of the iconic ZX Spectrum 48K, featuring a redesigned casing and enhanced reliability. This version retained the original 48KB RAM and offered improved durability and a more robust keyboard, addressing some of the criticisms of the original Spectrum’s rubber keyboard. The 48K Plus maintained compatibility with the vast library of existing Spectrum software, ensuring users could continue to enjoy the best of the platform’s games, utilities, and productivity applications. Despite being released later in the Spectrum’s lifecycle, the 48K Plus remains a sought-after model among collectors and enthusiasts of retro computing.
