The Grundy NewBrain was a home computer that was sold in the early 1980s by the British company Grundy Business Systems Ltd of Teddington and Cambridge . Two different models have been released.

Model A could be connected to either a television or a monitor. The AD model also had a one-line display built into the device, on which the results of the computer could be output without a television or monitor connected. The non-extended NewBrain had in ROM a BASIC - interpreter stored. But there were also devices in their ROM z. B. Math or graphics applications were included.
