Earlier quoted context omitted.
The EL display one was nice, but the GRID ones were on a different level. They still look modern. Other than would be perfectly at home in a modern office is the QL. Put two SDCard slot where the micro drives were and four USB-C ports in the back (6, one for power, one for the first monitor, four for expansion) and it’ll still look cool. With a decent CPU (and a delete key) could be a daily driver.
Yes, the QL was another very clean modern design. Too bad the MicroDrives were an utter disaster and the sales tanked because of that
I think the Spectrum-like graphics and overall speed were what killed it. The 68008 was painfully slow compared to the 68000.
Maybe someone could make a QL Next ;-) Or just a wireless keyboard with the same shape as the QL.
