Sinclair ZX Spectrum Next Accelerated - Kickstarter Issue 2

Description: Quick Note: I've put together a great personal collection of vintage (and related) computers but it's time to pare it down a bit. There aren't enough hours in the day to tackle as many projects as I'd like. I'll be listing multiple machines and would love to see them go from one enthusiast's collection to another. Description:If you're looking for a nice combination of nostalgia and modern day hardware, this may be for you. This system was a reward from a successful 2020 Kickstarter campaign. It has been kept in its original packaging, except for when it was removed to take pictures for this listing. The system has not been set up, used, or even connected to power. The Sinclair ZX Spectrum Next Accelerated is truly a vintage system on modern (or at least newly-manufactured) hardware. It boasts an "[e]nhanced FPGA-enabled Z80 CPU" which has a base of 3.5MHz and Turbo modes up to 28MHz. It also features 2048KB of RAM, an SD card slot that should be populated with a 16 GB card*, HDMI and VGA outputs, WiFi, and a Raspberry Pi Zero added on as a co-processor, which adds GPU support, 512 MB RAM, and the Pi's ARM processor. * I say "should be" here because the SD card capacity is not listed on the box. The Kickstarter campaign noted that the card would be 16 GB. In addition to the more modern hardware, the Next claims to be backwards-compatible with previous Spectrum ZX models, software, periperals, and most add-on boards. Because I have not set up this system or even connected in to power, I have not been able to test these claims. Final Note: This is the 2048KB model, rather than the earlier 1024KB version.
