how much did computers cost when they first came out
It came out around December 1974 and cost around $621 Assembled. However many will say that the first true personal computer was the Apple II which came out in 1977 at the price of $1298.But if you get really technical the first personal computer was the Berkeley Enterprises Simon released in 1950 at a price of $300.t would probably have to be the comadore 64. I know my first computer was a Texas Instruments TI99-4A. It was a console type with a built in keyboard. It connected to a television set and I had to connect a tape recorder to it to save and retrieve files. If I remember right, it cost me about $199.00.
