The IBM PC

The IBM PC is released on August 12, 1981. Priced at $1,565, the personal computer has a 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 microprocessor and comes with a 160-KB floppy disk drive, an optional color monitor, and IBM's Disk Operating System. The development team at IBM develops and announces the IBM PC in 12 months, at that time, faster than any other hardware product in IBM's history.
