Sinclair Spectrum or Commodore 64?

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81. I had it about a year before I switched to a Sinclair Spectrum and a couple of years later I moved on to Sinclair QL.

Some friends of mine had a Commodore 64. They were more expensive, better hardware, but less accessible when it came to programming, IMHO, at least using Basic. So my friends did more gaming and I did more programming.

Did you have any of these? Which camp were you in?

My first computer I had to myself was a amazon kindle fire tablet because that is what my parents got me as an elementary school graduation present. My family still has it in the closet somewhere. My current computer is a Lenovo c940 and I am looking to upgrade as soon as System76 or Framework get their shit together and start offering an Intel Core Ultra 9 288V option.
