Electron

"Ask any child at scholl why it's worth £199."
The Electron, often called by the nickname "Elk", is a computer produced by British company Acorn in the early 1980s. It was designed as a low-cost home alternative to the BBC Micro, usually sold to schools. It was much less powerful, and although both ran the same dialect of BASIC, compatibility between them was only partial. As it faced strong competition from the Commodore 64 and the ZX Spectrum, sales were lower than expected, even though it was still popular enough to ultimately outsell the more expensive BBC Micro and amass a larger game library of its own.
