To make a decision like this you can only go on past computers you have owned.
So for some of us the choice can be narrow. So for me this narrows down to two
m/c’s.

The Tasc R30 sorry I mean R40.
The display on this machine makes it a delight to use especially with piece
recognition.

The London 68030 Bavaria. I have the Munchen version myself but to have piece
recognition would be the icing on the cake. The features on this computer are
second to none however some time is needed to work out how to access them all.
It isn’t as intuitive as the Tasc but it does have some advantages over the
Tasc, namely that the opening book is programmable and can be split up into many
books. Also the learn feature and save up to 50 games is great.

Out of the two….

I have leant how to use the London properly so I think that this must be my
favourite.

And I own it as well!

Best
