The PPC512 and PPC640 were both released in 1987 and were the successors to the PC1512 and PC1640 desktop computers.

Facilitated with a built-in keyboard and a monochrome LCD screen (MDA or CGA), these two computers had either a singular or multiple diskette drives and could be powered on by ten 1,5V batteries. The machine could also be supplied of electricity via an external power supply. The PPC512 had an NEC V30 processor (running on 8 MHz), 512 KiB of memory and a 'full-size' keyboard with 102 keys (including numerical keys). There was a difference in some variants of the PPC512: the PPC512D had 2 diskette stations, something which the PPC512S only had one of.

The PPC series was standard delivered with the MS-DOS operating system (version 3.3) and the 'Organiser' softwarepackage.
