ZX Spectrum Next, the perfect computer for programmers
The ZX Spectrum Next is the computer Sinclair would perhaps have made if given the chance at the time. Designed by Rick Dickinson and Phil Candy, the objective behind the Next was to deliver a computer which could run up to twice as fast as the original Spectrum models, to increase its memory to 512KB RAM, and to introduce new video modes which would give the ZX Spectrum Next palette and graphics capabilities worthy of its ambition and push into the future of the platform.
The Spectrum Next provides unique experiences ranging from cool games, apps and Internet connectivity, including its own Teletext portal and multiplayer support. It’s also an ideal tool for learning programming by booting straight into NextBasic, opening a door for newcomers to learn more about the inner workings of computers using a simple and powerful programming language: one can literally start coding a new game in minutes by just browsing the Next’s manual.
