A friend of mine bought one when they first came out for something like $7000. Something like a 20MB hard drive and a 5-1/4” floppy.

She went on to get a PhD in computer science, and being an early adopter of the PC got her ahead of the curve.

My first computer was a “luggable”. Looked like a suitcase, the keyboard folded down exposing an 8” Floppy with a 5 inch green screen. Had a whopping 64K RAM and 5MB hard disk. Forgot what I paid for it.
