> The 2 piece cases greatly reduced the cost of the product, though their design was rather drab and unappealing compared to the more stylish, yet more expensive XL case designs. The keyboards were another shortcoming of the design. They were mushy and lacked solid tactile rebound to them and this was a major complaint for many users.
Don't really agree with this. I had an 800XL and I thought the grey XE series was much more stylish and modern in design. The brown/beige was very old-fashioned. In fact I think the ST series was one of the best looking computers of its time. Definitely much better than the Amiga 500 (which I did own)
The keyboards had better feedback on the 800XL but the keys were much heavier there. The XE was more like a modern keyboard.
