BBC B. 32k ram, later expanded with 100k floppy disk.
My loved one at the time wrote her >300 page degree
thesis on this, printed on a loaned daisywheel printer
using a driver written in BASIC. We used to set up
things to print a few tens of pages and go to see a
movie, hoping the rattling would have finished
without a paper jam when we came back.

The sound chip on the same, again programmed in
BASIC. Also the parallel port which could be
made to shift out 8 bits at 1MHz, used as a
1-bit converter.
