My first one was such work of art:
512k RAM.
CPU: NEC V40 (80188-compatible).
Two floppy drives. No HD!
XT-style keyboard (82 keys).
Integrated CGA-compatible video. Allegedly can output to TV or monitor. (You would never find a cable to perform the task)
SPEED 4.77 / 8 MHz
GRAPHIC MODES CGA graphic modes : 320 x 200 / 640 x 200, black and white only! (great improvement as normal was green over black those days)
I/O PORTS Centronics, RGB monitor and TV, RS232, Mouse, Audio, Floppy disk, Expansion connector
BUILT IN MEDIA 2 x 3.5'' 720 KB FDD
OS MS DOS
Olivetti Prodest PC1 - 1988
I remember I later got a 56k modem, as Netscape browser was invented, because of that I had to get a computer that would allow to assemble it internally, that new one had a 20MB HD, it was in 1995, can't remember why I would need a modem those days...
I remembered! I needed a modem because it was a FAX-Modem, and that would turn the computer into a fax machine, so I could start to get rid of the Telex machine!

My first was a commodore VIC20. 1MHz CPU with 5k RAM. And without floppy drive, but with cassette drive! It was released before the famous commodore 64.

LMFAO.
My first comp was an Acorn Atom. My father & I had to manufacture the aluminium casing & heatsink for the PSU ourselves lol.
Soon after had a BBC/BBC Master. Then an Amiga 500+ after those. Then 386 rigs & onwards.
My first modems were 28K/56K too. Obviously that was long before the days of subscriber based 0800 dial up ISP's, my monthly phone bills used to arrive in a bloody box!!!!!!!
