10 Old Computers With Outrageous Price Tags

Written by The Shit

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 hell
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 hell 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!

Which one made you bite your nails? The IBM Portable PC released in 1975 certainly made me piss my
pants considering there are houses selling on eBay these days for freaking 10 dollars.
