Yes it was the IBM PC compatible using the 8086 Intel chip.

It actually had a VGA colour monitor as well which in 1989/1990 was considered state of the art.

It came with DOS 3.3 Operating system and Lotus Symphony, names from the past

I remember those times too. I remember when I worked for an engineering firm, the '386 was common, the '486 was state of the art until the Pentium was rolled out. A huge hard drive held 200 megs. I know I'm behind the times on this Pentium II, 266 MHz model but I do have a huge 200 Gig HD on it when my old 6.4 Gig croaked on me. Back then, we had Windows 3.1 (which Mom still likes to use on the '486) was the most advanced system that ran on top of DOS 5.0 to 6.22.
