Compares very well with the competition: the Spectrum, the Dragon, and the Vic-20. Read Review

Introduction
The Acorn Electron is a 32K machine which connects to a cassette recorder and analogue television. It was produced in 1983 in the United Kingdom by Acorn Computers Ltd as a cheaper version of the BBC Micro. Indeed, it retains the BBC BASIC language meaning that simple programs run on both micros, albeit slightly slower on the Acorn Electron.
