The IBM 5150 was released in 1981. It set the standard for what a personal computer should be. This device didn't end up in many homes, but in the office. The basic model came with 16 kilobytes of RAM,

Unless you're seriously into vintage personal computers, you probably never heard of the ADAM - The ColecoVision Family Computer System.  Coleco made quite an impact with the ColecoVision video game

Tech enthusiasts like to run speed tests between devices like computers, tablets and smartphones. When Windows Phone was still a thing, Ben the PC Guy would "race" users of Android and iPhones.

I'm almost positive it was Christmas of 1984 when my brother and I got a Coleco ADAM computer as our BIG gift.  We didn't know what to make of it, so shortly after, it went into storage.  This
