First computer that I personally owned? Or first computer that my family owned that I used

 

First computer I owned personally was a 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch. It came with a sandy bridge core i5 clocked at I think 2.3Ghz.

Upgraded to a 256gb 840 pro + 1tb hdd. Also got 16gb of ram for Christmas from my uncle.  Loved that thing

Mine was my Dad's old Dell laptop from like 2002 which I rarely used due to the lack of functionality. The first PC I really used was a desktop from maybe 2005 that was also my Dad's which I threw a graphics card in because my friend had told me about this cool game that I couldn't run with my baseline grade PC. So to me, the desktop was my first PC.

Dell Diminsion E310 back in 05.
3.2GHz Pentium 4 with Hyper threading, 512MB of RAM which I upgraded to 2GB a year or two later. Didn't come with a videocard so added a 256MB PCI card.
That thing was an absolute beast of it's time. I was actually still using it up until 1.5 years ago as a guest PC. It handled basic web browsing easy no problem, but it was starting to show it's age so I formerly retired it and now it resides in my closet with no hard drive

The first PC that I can remember had an AMD Sempron, I think 256MB RAM and a 80GB Hard Drive. Ran Windows XP and Came with a 800x600 4:3 monitor. Was really slow and we got rid of it in 2009. It also had an Optical Drive that would only accept DVDs.

A walmart e-machine I bought when I was like 14 from working a summer job with my dad. It was sufficient enough to play Runescape which was all I cared about a that time haha.
