10 Old Computers With Outrageous Price Tags

Written by The smurf
 
Can you even imagine forking out nearly 20,000 dollars for a computer with 64K RAM? I can’t imagine what the people during that era of computer buying must have gone through. Jesus Christ! The price tags on these computers that you are about to see were beyond outrageous. In the 80s computers that weighed 55 pounds were called portable computers and now we whine if they are over 5 pounds. We sure as smurf are spoiled cause personally I wouldn’t fork out more than 1000 dollars for a nice rig. Check out these images, although they were the roots for modern day computers, they were ugly as smurf and the price no matter what anybody says didn’t justify whatsoever. Presenting the ugliest computers from the past that came with outrageous price tags. Enjoy! image Radio Shack TRS - 80 Model II (1979)
Price : $3,450 (32K RAM)
$3,899 (64 K Ram) image Osborne 1 - Considered to be the first portable computer (1981)
Price : $1,795 (32K RAM) image Otrona Attache (1982)
Price : $3,995 (64K RAM) image Apple Lisa (1983)
Price : $9,995 (1MB) image Apple III (1981)
Price : $3,495 (128K RAM)
$3,815 (w/ monitor) image Compaq Portable III (1987)
Price : $4,999 (20MB HD)
$5,799 (40MB HD) image Dynabyte (1981)
Price : $2,375 (64K RAM) image IBM 5120 (1980)
Price : $9,340 (w/ printer) image IBM Portable PC 5155 (1984)
Price : $4,225 (256 - 640K RAM) image IBM Portable PC (1975)
Price : $19,975 (64K RAM) Which one made you bite your nails? The IBM Portable PC released in 1975 certainly made me smurf my pants considering there are houses selling on eBay these days for freaking 10 dollars.
