So, what was the first ever PC you used?

Mine was..its a story

One day my dad brought home a old Windows ME gateway when i was only like 4 or so and i would do stuff on it...then we got rid of it

ahhhhhhhhhhhh vivid memories

A Windows XP PC with a 1680X1050 LCD monitor (I am actually using that monitor at this very moment)...

I just got Worms : Ultimate Mayhem, the game I always use to play (well the demo)

Now I have the full game

[argyle]

my first PC encounter was using an Atari ST my dad had. i mostly played games on it, there was a flight simulator i remember playing a lot. My dad also ran a BBS on another system and I would dial into there to chat.

 

I'm apparently very old.

[PlayStation 2]

The first encounter I remember was with an eMac. I remember watching that Green Eggs and Ham short on it.

I'm not very old so my first PC was running Windows XP or Vista and I believe a Penitum. My first console was either an original Xbox or a console that could play SNES and NES games. I still have the NES/SNES thing, just wish I kept my Xbox... Might buy a new one just cause

Whatever computers my elementary school had back in the late 90s

The first PC I ever used was one that they had in my elementary school. It was a MS DOS machine, and that's all I can remember about it, and my first PC was a first generation Pentium 4 custom PC my dad bought for relatively cheap.

My very first computer i've used was a custom build by my grandpa,

It had a Amd 486Dx4 100 MHz Processor in it,

16MB of ram,

and a 6gig harddrive.

and ofcourse Windows 98 SE.

I was like 5 when i got it. still have it and still works today

First computer I used would either have been my friends Atari ST or a school BBC Micro

My first pc was some old beige colored computer, I can't remember anything about it except that I played Colin McRae rally on it. It  should still be in my father's storage room.... It also has windows xp

[Avayel]

The first PC I used was my Mom's work PC, don't remember the brand, I do remember it had Windows 3.1 and a HUGE 400MB HDD, never need to upgrade again!! LOL

 

I remember it had a audio recorder and I was amazed by it.

Probably my dad's old Windows 95 laptop, back before we had a home computer. He worked in IT, so actually had one. That would have been like '97 maybe? (I would have been 2-3). Then after that we got some beige-wonder of a Windows 95 desktop, with a nice curvy CRT monitor.

MY first PC, like the first PC that was ever actually mine was an XP system, with a Pentium4 630, and some sort of tacky, gaudy GPU that I will never know the name of, since we eventually pulled it out and chucked it, since it never worked. Months later, I figured out the PCIe was turned off.. I would have got that when I was maybe 11/12? Had it for a few years, somehow gaming off the iGPU....

Whatever the hell my dad had in his office back in like... '97, '98.  He's a programmer so he always has had a computer.

Some old presario, it was an AMD K6 266 with 16MB of RAM. I used to mspaint on it.

[Ertman]

Playing games on an Atari 400.

[Beef Boss]

Not pc but console. I started playing games when I was about 4. Ps2 Nintendo 32 Xbox 360. I grew up playing video games. (still am growing up playing video games lol)

I hope laptops count because I've been using laptops all my life... But my first ever laptop was.. Uh... An ASUS of some kind but I have absolutely no idea what model. And my current laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C50-B-15Z. And yes, I did just flip my computer upside down just to read the sticker that has the model name on it

"I hope laptops count because I've been using laptops all my life..." Oh gheesh, I'm sorry . You should have a friend build you a custom gaming laptop (Too expensive to buy pre-made with interchangeable parts). You can build a nice one with a 17" 1080p 75hz screen for about $900 usd if you use mix new and used parts).

Haha, I like your humour. But after a while, you get used to the experience of a laptop. Whenever I use a PC I think," Okay, time to try not to get annoyed by the keyboard.." Also, at an early stage in life, I was kind of put off PCs because when my grandparents had one, the mouse was overly sensitive and the PC itself was extremely slow. But if I ever consider a PC, I'll keep your advice in mind.

I was suggesting having someone build you a custom laptop, not desktop silly goose.

My mom got a computer when I was 14/15 I think. I was envious of everyone that had one at an earlier age.
