#1 i7 6500U with R5 M330 laptop (died less then a year after I got it then I built my first pc)

#2 I5 7500 (now in my younger brothers desktop, who was stuck with a Pentium N3700 Laptop)

#3 Ryzen 7 2700x (current)

Before my first PC I only had an iPad and a Wii. Can't say I ever regret working my ass off to pay for the parts to build these computers

While with a keyboard and mouse a game system can act like a computer (Sony officially supported Linux on... I think PS4 for a long while.) It just isn't the same. There is nothing like a device that will to what you tell it to and could program however you like.

Well I had a Commodore 64 but I never really classed that as a real PC.

I guess my First real PC had an Intel 486 DX/2 66mhz in it..

That was a real personal computer. In those days IBM had somehow practically trademarked PC so yeah.. it wasn't. In some ways it was better the "real" PC of that era was horrible for home use.

My very very first own computer was an Amiga 500 - I even got a bonus floppy disk drive a few years later!

My very first PC was a Pentium 100. Such speed!

Can't track them after that... I believe I had another Pentium 1xx and switched to Core 2 duo later.

I can barely remember what I did yesterday or the name of any of my friend in highschool so it's a small miracle I'd even remember I had a pentium100 in the first place ...

I know the feeling, sadly. I'm not that old but I can feel that first twinge of aging. At least so far no one on here has been like.

My first CPU was

Always thought it was funny how the slot I Pentium's kinda looked like that but way smaller.
