Sinclair Portable

Sinclair Portable is one of the first colour handheld consoles, it was released in March 7th, 1979 by Sinclair. It introduced the "with RGB" brand. It was an hybrid between a colour handheld video game console and a portable colour television set, this was one of the reasons why it was expensive compared to other handheld consoles back in 1979. It is debatably if it was from the first or the second generation, as the console was released in late-1970s when the second generation started already, but its hardware was rather like that of first generation consoles, as games were hard-wired into the console and it used as a dedicated circuit like early tabletop console, even though data cassete tapes could be used to turn on and off certain electronics inside the console, but a 2MHZ Z80 was included for certain operations, which made it similar to second generation consoles and early microcomputers at the time.
