››The Atari 1450XLD Home Computer: "All your computing power in one component"››  Now you don't need seperate components to store and retrieve information or programs, because the ATARI 1450XLD has its own built-in, double-sided, dual-density disk drive.  So with this one compact unit, you can instantly access, work with, and save up to 200 pages (254K bytes of information) on a single 5 1/4-inch diskette.››  With an ATARI 1450XLD Home Computer, you have the power to use complex financial programs, involved word processing, or any other applications where fast retrieval and storage of information is vital.  You have faster access to anything on diskette, because the disk drive built into the ATARI 1450XLD is connected directly to the computer's processor bus.››  To let you talk to the world, the 1450XLD has a built-in modem that connects directly to your phone lines.  And to let your computer talk to you, the Atari 1450XLD also includes a speech synthesizer.››  The 1450XLD also gives you functional features, like a magnetically isolated compartment for diskette storage or an additional disk drive, and a case that's strong enough to support a TV or video monitor.  And with an expansion connection, for adding future peripherals and accessories, you'll always be able to broaden your computer's applications.››  Like every home computer in the XL line, the Atari 1450XLD includes a full stroke keyboard, a HELP key, programmable function keys, and an international character set - in addition to 64K RAM (Random Access Memory) and a Self-Test program to update on your computer's performance each time you turn it on.››  For the ultimate in integrated technology and sophisticated ease of operation, only the ATARI 1450XLD gives you the all-in-one convenience of computing, communicating, and information storage in one elegantly simple design.›››Reprinted from an Atari brochure originally published in June, 1983.
