Overall, he concluded, the ZX81 might have a limited value in helping to teach BASIC programming and overcoming psychological barriers to computing, but "the Sinclair systems have a long way to go before they raise the quality and level of understanding of the nature and use of computer-based information systems among computer unbelievers."
En xeral, concluíu, o ZX81 podería ter un valor limitado en axudar para ensinar programación en BASIC e superar as barreiras psicolóxicas á informática, mais "os sistemas de Sinclair teñen un longo camiño antes de aumentaren a calidade e o nivel de entendemento sobre a natureza e o uso dos sistemas de información baseados en computadores entre os incrédulos do ordenador".
