The Cambridge Z88 is a Z80-based notebook computer released in 1987[1] by Cambridge Computer, the company formed for such purpose by Clive Sinclair. It was approximately A4 paper sized and lightweight at 0.9 kg (2.0 lb), running on four AA batteries for 20 hours of use.[2][3][4]
It was packaged with a built-in combined word processing/spreadsheet/database application called PipeDream (functionally equivalent to a 1987 BBC Micro ROM called Acornsoft View Professional),[5] along with several other applications and utilities, such as a Z80-version of the BBC BASIC programming language.
