Age when you got your first PC

[CyanOG]

At around 9-10ish i got a HP Laptop that broke after 9 months because of battery never bought or will buy a laptop again desktops ftw.

[Johanmyst]

I guess around 7-8ish? When my father and me used to play games together, the likes of Lego Island and what not

I reckon I was about 6 or 7. I had nobody to teach me though so I couldn't really do a lot. I got my hands on a toshiba t1000 which had DOS on it. The only thing I new how to do was type "DIR" (awh, I suck). For a long time, while I was quite good at using computers, I still didn't really know a lot about them. It wasn't until mid way through university that I started learning how to build and became actively interested in computer science and programming.

[Memises]

I first started using a computer when I was about 6 where I'd only do small things like flash games.

When I was 8 I started learning a lot more about computers and started making little animations in Powerpoint and just looking at all the features on the various microsoft office applications.

At the age of 11 I got my first laptop where I learned a lot more about computers and how they worked, along with playing some low end games because it was all my laptop could handle.

At the age of 14 I got a custom built gaming pc, which was low end due to a cheap GT 630 graphics card, but could handle most high end games at 30fps.

Then more recently, at the age of 15 I learned about how to build my own PC and the difference between low end products and high end products

And at the age of 16 I built my own PC using some of the old components from my last PC just to save money

When I was 18.

Edit, i've been using computers since about 15 but just for browsing and stuff, although i did know quite a bit about them.

My uncle bought me a laptop when I was 15. I can swear to you that I didn't leave my room for about a week. ( YouTube has never seen so many comments)

[MrEppart1]

My first PC was a dinosaur bone of a piece of circuitry, at age 11.

I played Sim City 2000. Still love that game. Actually also the first game i "pirated" for a friend by copying every single one of the 12 floppy discs.

Surprisingly I was not terrible at it.

[PaulKolby]

[Will_Man_Dude]

For me it was when I was 4 or 5 I got a blue imac but then my little brother broke it (damn little brothers)

[Avericious]

Relatively recently. I was 19-20 at the time. 23 now.

We got our first computer, a Commodore 64, in 1985 when I was 5 years old. Before that I'd seen a computer at my friend's house, they had a Vic 20.

when i was about 15, i think

[set_flo]

Can't remember the exact age but do remember being VERY young.

 

Moved from Germany to Uganda around 3-5 years old, so grew up there and one of the things we had brought with us was a laptop, this was celeron days before even dual-core. My father had given my brother and I a bunch of CDs which each had multiple games on them. Stuff like Populous:The beginning, Dungeon Keeper 2, etc. so spent a lot of time playing those as well as early Sims, SimCity, Alpha Centauri, Stronghold, etc. etc.

 

Once I moved back to Europe around 16 I was a bit overwhelmed by this mysterious thing called the internet that didn't need a dial-up connection any more and could achieve speeds higher than 50Kb/s (yes that's bits, not bytes). Suddenly I could learn whatever whenever I wanted.

Just got better after that
