I loved bothe the C128 CP/M and the QX-10. My favourite is the Xerox
820-II with old style keyboard. A truly WONDERFUL machine.

My favourite CP/M machine is the Epson QX10.
I personally like the Commodore 128's CP/M. It's colour, works in both
40 and 80 column modes, offers access to the Commodore's video and sound
features (though admittedly little software actually leveraged this),
and when paired with a 1571 disk drive you have GCR and MFM format
capability and reasonably fast disk times. Alas, CP/M 3.0 Plus on the 128
is a bit slow, although there is a BIOS replacement available that
improves this considerably.
