They surely had business use at the time, though. Amstrad was also pretty late in the game (~5 years after the others mentioned in my answer), so not specifically competitors of the early IBM PC. | |

In standard Amstrad livery and priced at £399 it was a success, capturing more than 25% of the European computer market.[citation needed]" | |
