Can you recommend modern hardware recreations (no software-only emulators) of the ZX Spectrum that are 100% compatible with the BASIC of the original 48K model and don't cost a fortune?
The devices should be fully assembled but kits or boards with no case are an option. They should also provide connections to modern displays and possibly also external keyboards.
I'm aware of these recreations:
ZX Spectrum Next

Asking for a friend, an actual friend.
@amoroso I very much like my SpecNext, it's maybe overpriced but it's *perfect*. Kick-ass design, keyboard's just the usable side of weird, not like the ZX8[01] or OG Spectrum. I mostly run it as a Spectrum, play old games, code in it that way, occasionally boot some SpecNext software.
