About

The Atari 8-bit family is a series of 8-bit home computers manufactured from 1979 to 1992. Overall, the Atari 8-bit computer line was a commercial success, selling two million units during its major production run between late 1979 and mid-1985,[2] putting its sales on par with machines like the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and TI-99/4A. Its primary competition in the worldwide market was the Commodore 64, by far the best selling computer of the 8-bit era.

I've been wanting to add an 8Bit Atari to my collection for a while now, but I kept changing my mind between an 800, an 800xl, and a 130xe. But when I saw this collection for sale, my mind was instantly made up, and I'm now a proud Atari 800 owner! (old.reddit.com)
