There were many computers out at the time the first Apple was released in 1976

They did have the first complete slick cased PERSONAL computer with a wide appeal. I had the PET and an old S-100 bus, but those were hardly personal computers. Computers, yes. But not PCs.

“The first successfully mass marketed personal computer was the Commodore PET introduced in January 1977”

BTW, I did live through those years...and my memory is that the apple was way over priced even back then. When the Apple II came out, it was the best looking computer you could buy, just as today...but definitely not the best bang for the buck, just as today.

And not the first.
