Acorn Archimedes A3000

Acorn · 1989

The Archimedes that schools actually bought: one wedge case with the keyboard built in, priced for an education budget, and consequently the most common ARM machine of its generation in Britain. If you used a computer in a British classroom around 1990 it was probably this. Same ARM2 as the A310 in a cheaper package, and the case design that Acorn reused for the A3010 that followed it.
