Editing Atari PC2 (section)

== Reception ==
The PC2 was a much more conventional and capable machine than the PC1, offering everything buyers expected from an XT-class IBM clone. However, by the time it shipped in early 1988, it faced stiff price competition from established brands such as Tandy (whose 1000 series frequently went on sale) and budget clone makers like Leading Edge and Amstrad.

The PC1's earlier reputation for non-expandability also carried over to the PC2, making it difficult for Atari to convince buyers that the newer model was a serious contender. Despite being a perfectly competent XT-class system, the PC2 never achieved significant market penetration.
