Seeing the success of the ZX Spectrum, the company Tangerine (which produced one of the first kit computers based on the 6502) launched this computer under its subsidiary Oric, which was slightly cheaper, had an RGB monitor output, a sound chip and a better keyboard... but its ROM had numerous bugs.

Despite being the first model to be commercially released, it was called the "Kaypro II" (at a time when one of the most popular microcomputers was the Apple II).
The Kaypro II was designed to be portable like the Osborne, housed in an aluminum case containing all the components and with a handle for carrying.
