Better time, nice Sharp design.

Thanks for the great alt text, especially the ending. 🙂

Agreed! I actually laughed. Today of all days.

What was it's intended purpose? With the ABC keyboard and all those auto controls, it makes it more like a mixer or some other special purpose computer.

A computer. am/fm/shortwave radio + television, cassette player/recorder. Looks like it has everything

It’s only missing the clock, telephone, camera, compass and GPS receiver parts to be an acceptable (if cumbersome) smartphone…

My Dad had something similar, without the computer bit (clearly the important part for this thread!). Watching tv on it was hilarious. Only one person at a time 😀

This computer came out in '79, the MSX line was '83. In between, Sharp launched the MZ80K line which is a rather more likely conduit for any tech.

MZ80K was also all in one but with a full size (but weird) keyboard and a larger monitor.
